This encyclopedia is suitable for a wide range of ages, from children around 10 years old to adults.
Also, it include the contents of earth/space, weather, disasters, water, floods, lava, deserts, population, etc.
However, this book has been published older than other DK books, so the images are outdated.
It's better to choose one that has been published recently.
At the end of this book, the characteristics, currency, temperature, food, etc. of countries and regions are introduced by continent, which is useful information before going on a trip.

I throughly enjoyed this book. It was packed to the brim with facts, illustrations, and photographs. It would be overwhelming to read this cover to cover.
I kept thinking while reading it. How old does a science book need to be in order to be considered outdated? This book was initially published in 2013. That means that the information in here is ten years old already. It takes time to organize, edit, and publish a book.
This really needs to be updated.

Fantastic facts, photos and interesting topics. This book had me coming back for another dive into the amazingly diverse wonders of our world.

Espouses the theory of evolution from the beginning without stating that it is an unproven theory and only that, albeit an erroneous one. At least it does not attempt to hide it until the end.
