5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, Informative Book
My son is completely in love with anything space related, and this book is his favorite. "Universe" is a well-written, extremely informative book about everything you'd ever want to know about the universe, from early astronomy to the solar system to the life of stars, and much more. My favorite thing about the book is the detailed illustrations. For example, there are...

2.0 out of 5 stars Glaringly biased
I returned this book, because instead of just getting great info on the universe, which DK is fully capable of delivering well, I had to wade through atheistic, pro-abortion garbage such as: There was nothing before the Big Bang. Just like a new-born baby: there is no before, only after. (This is almost a direct quote.) I no longer trust DK to provide unbiased...

This review is from: Universe (DK Eyewitness Books) (Hardcover)
My son is completely in love with anything space related, and this book is his favorite. "Universe" is a well-written, extremely informative book about everything you'd ever want to know about the universe, from early astronomy to the solar system to the life of stars, and much more. My favorite thing about the book is the detailed illustrations. For example, there are large, detailed images of four of Jupiter's moons, which is more than you'll find in many space books. I highly recommend "Universe".

Our grandson is interested in many things, including astronomy. This is a good book for him because it has a lot of information as well as pictures and diagrams. It is educational and interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Response to the small minded review posted as a review, February 14, 2008
This review is from: Universe (DK Eyewitness Books) (Hardcover)
You bought a book entitled UNIVERSE and didn't expect a SCIENTIFIC (thus ATHEISTIC) view of the universe? Give me a break.

And just because a book says that a new-born baby has "no before, only after" doesn't mean it is "pro-abortion." Did it tell you to go out and abort a fetus (or child if you must)? Besides, I don't think a children's book from a profit-driven publisher is pro-abortion. Think about it.

You entire review is idiotic. "I no longer trust DK to provide unbiased material for my children?" So who DO you trust? I'd love to know where to find this mythical book publisher that I can unflinchingly and whole-heartedly trust to be unbiased.

I only hope you do not dissuade others from purchasing this book.

I really trust the Eyewitness series. This book comes with a CD rom and a wall poster. It's for my 13 yo son. He browses and dips in and out of it, and was very happy to get it. It was inexpensive for the quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars DK Books Does it Again, March 24, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Universe (DK Eyewitness Books) (Hardcover)
These books are fantastic. A good read for any child. Colorful graphics, a nice set to buy one at a time, as they are all the same size and shape.
