4.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee-table history!, January 18, 2003

By	David O'Toole (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

Each gorgeous, full-color, oversize spread covers a different historical topic or region through the years, complete with maps, charts, and concise text. Examples include "The Spread of Islam from AD 632", "The Industrial Revolution in Europe", "The Russian Revolution 1917 to 1925." Overall the exposition is engaging and to-the-point. The authors are British; this shows up both in the spelling and in the text's occasionally rather tendentious interpretation of events, particularly those involving the United States "hegemony." For example, the election of Ronald Reagan is attributed to "Nationalism, a tax-payer's revolt, and a widespread wish to be reassured..." and Carter is not even mentioned.

But overall, this book is worth having for the overall quality of its presentation and the sheer volume of little facts packed into its maps and diagrams.
