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.
