Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5–9—This book traces human migration over more than 150,000 years, beginning with the Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens and ending in the 21st century with estimates and projections of human population from the present until 2050. The discussion provides an overview of the major trends and influences of humankind's journey. Straightforward narration and relevant examples make an often difficult subject understandable and absorbing to readers. Copious sepia-toned visuals, including drawings, photographs, maps, and charts, create an attractive and accessible presentation of complex material. While this title doesn't contain enough in-depth information for reports on specific historical periods, it is a solid introduction, and there is little else available on the subject at this reading level. Hendrik Willem Van Loon's The Story of Mankind (Liveright) has been updated only through the 1980s.—Heide Piehler, Shorewood Public Library, WI
