This lavishly illustrated, compact history works better as a visual guide than a historical one. I found the historical narrative to be sketchy and at times hard to follow. Each page has marvelous illustrations, but the notations for the illustrations break up the text in a distracting way. There is some discussion of art and architecture, but not as much as I'd hoped. On the whole, the book suffered a bit from being neither fish nor fowl -- neither a proper history or an art history.
