Graphical history
Just seeing the great military campaigns, population moves and religious movements of history in a physical/geographical context makes them so much easier to follow. The summaries too are excellent, inevitably superficial but cpaturing key events well. It has become my constant companion to books on ancient history. A lovely thing to have next to one.

Great gift
I bought this as a gift, it’s a great book with really clear information and helps link history to a lot of geographical factors & issues. This is not the kind of book you would buy if you wanted lots of detailed information about a specific historical event, it is much more broad and gives you a base knowledge of key points in history. I really liked the graphics and it is a great quality book.

Excellent book
This is a thoroughly enjoyable book to read. It is a great introduction to understanding the history of the world. The maps and accompanying pictures give the reader a very good visual presentation and explanation of historical events. The hardcover means this book should last a long time and I am looking forward to reading this again and again with grandchildren in the future. I have given this book 5 stars it is well deserved and once again DK has produced another quality book. Thanks also to Amazon and Book Depository for the speedy delivery and ensuring this large and heavy book arrived in good condition. I am very happy.
