A great idea of presenting in a simplified version the main global historical events is damaged only by the shortness and lack of details. If you are a fan of history, you'll not find new things, but for a laconic presentation of 10.000 years of human history the book is a great resource. In conclusion - if you in a hurry to know the history of civilizations - this is a good source.

When a book can engage both an almost 14 and a just-six, it’s a good one. This book covers cultural moments, major events, inventions, wars the world over throughout time. I expect we will actually buy it because it seems like something that’ll be revisited if left on the table now and again.

Great book for learning information from the Neolithic era to modern day times. This also has great pictures to go along with the story.

History meets geography

Gorgeous maps that that reflect the history of the human race. Informative and ideal to dip into. Would recommend to UKS2.

"Vad hände när och var? Historisk atlas"

Vi lånade den svenska versionen på biblioteket och var mycket nöjda.
