Great atlas
Published by Maddy , 4 years ago
Great to support a middle schooler’s education.
Fine history tome but not really an atlas....

I give this book four stars because, while it is really not an atlas, it is a wonderful overview of history.The book features the superb photography/illustrations that folks expect from National Geographic. These graphics are used to good effect, showing the progression from early history to the late 1990's. I find it a most enjoyable "refresher course" in world history. There is a timeline at the top of each page indicating significant events for the given period.If you wish to have a succinct world history summary/review with great aesthetics, you can't go wrong with this. However, it offers relatively few maps (around 60 or so), so don't depend on it as a true atlas.
Wonderful History journey

The way that one's goes travelling throuh the history with this book is nothing less than outrageous! The combination of maps and history is so well done that the 1 millon years travel seems a second!
