3.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book but... (a history teacher's review), February 5, 2008
This is a beautifully produced book (and part of a series) with lots of nice pictures, easy to read text and all attractively arranged.

But...

I am not fond of the format. The book is organized by topic such as "Famous Rulers and Leaders", "Beliefs and Ideas" and "How People Lived". MacDonald splits the world into 7 zones and tells about how each of these topics were addressed in those 7 areas of the world during the time period (roughly). This is wonderful for looking up a quick fact but it makes for disjointed reading. It would be so much better to just tell the stories of those 7 zones in one whole continous reading, in my opinion.

Aimed at 4th - 9th graders.
