Review: Another excellent publication from DK - Recommended. - The publisher DK has earned my trust over many purchases from children’s educational books to cookery etc and this book is another extremely well-laid-out, highly informative yet user-friendly book. As a quality introduction / overview of history it is excellent. As with any book on such a broad topic the secret is in the editing and this book offers a good summary of main historic events without becoming bogged down in excessive detail. As an introduction to history or a basic grounding in ‘how we got to where we are’ I highly recommend it. I bought it for myself to fill some gaps in my now rusty knowledge of history and I’m thoroughly enjoying it - it’s so well formatted into. Ite-sized chapters that enjoyment is easy. I’m middle-aged but it’s be similarly approachable and engaging for younger readers from about 11yrs up. My two teenage sons have commented favourably about it too.

This is a very fantastic history book marrying all the history of the world under one book it is quite eye opening and full of different information for all ages and easy to read

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ a great if basic start
*by M***P on 11 October 2021*

World History is such a massive subject that no single volume can do it justice. But as a starter to dip your toes in this massive subject and perhaps choose what you’d like to find out more about this is a good if basic read.
