A really concise, understandable, evenly divided and critical view of the history of the World.
It was very understandable (though of course, a lot of details were omitted), that i oculd see the evolution of human conflict - and the basic reason why are humans fighting all the time - its truly revolutionary.
It also comes with some full color pages (again about world historical events), and ends with a list of, well, human events that have occurred in the world.
This book was really useful in my historical essay assignment, and I bet I can use this as a reference book.
The atlas - not really. It did not show the full extent/details with enough insight. This is expected, as the size of the book would obviously constrain it.
But anyways, a really recommended book for history buffs!
