Excellent visual and outline review of world history 16 Nov 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

I used an earlier edition of this book in college almost 20 years ago. It was extremely useful for doing quick reviews before exams. Furthermore, it is an excellent and very portable reference for dates, places, names, major cultural themes, etc. of the past. I still use it during my history readings. A top choice.

If you want a good overview about history.... 19 Dec 2003

By G. A. Thart

Format:Paperback

This is about the best overview of history I have ever seen: it clearly describes world history and not the ususal european centred history - everything from pre-historia to common age. The fact that maps are being used as well as diagrams helps an awful lot to give a clear overview without getting confused with minor details. I am not an historian but these books made me understand the general concept of history through time. And you know what? We are all the same, strange he.

World History at a glance 19 May 2010

By Benny Wielandt

Format:Paperback

This book and its companion volume 2 will gvie you the best overview of world history you are ever likely. No home should be without it, especially if you have children attending schooling or if you are yourself studying. Only drawback is the size of the maps, but with key information on concepts, dates,persons and events this is wikipedia history in book form and at a bargain price

tiny archaic maps

I bought directly volume 1 and 2 of the Penguin Atlas of World History. Big mistake! The maps are demoded and the text is in an unappealing tiny script. Read more

The title is misleading

Looking for an atlas of WORLD HISTORY, I was attracted to this title.

It's maps are excellent. Read more

An excellent visual and outline review of world history

Please see my review of volume 1. The same qualifiers apply to this volume too.
