Trực quan, dễ tra cứu, phù hợp với những người muốn có cái nhìn bao quát, tổng quan với lịch sử để lựa chọn phần mà mình thích để đào sâu hơn.

Well, it took me 18 months to get through reading in chunks with lots of breaks between the previous readings and this last, but I’m one of those adults who finds it a great resource and hopes it will prove so for my kids as well. It’s a really good over view and gives the big picture of how people have discovered and tried so many new and interesting endeavors, sprinkled among all the wars and disasters, etc. The depths that people sink to for power and control is indeed a downer, but there’s enough beauty and focus on what we have explored that I’m glad to have made this purchase. We did actually pull it out just the other night after my kids asked what was happening in the 1820’s and I wanted to show them more of the world’s timeline than just the US and UK for example. An attractive mix of drawings and photographs.

The book provides an overview about the world history. The author lists out the date and relevant events, classifying into different continents.
The thing I do not like in this book is that the event description is too short so that the reader can not understand the meaning. By the way, some events enclose with picture so the book looks really nice.

Đúng theo tên tiếng anh “timelines”, cuốn sách là một chuỗi liệt kê các sự kiện theo từng mốc thời gian, chia làm 5 khu vực chính. 3* là cho hình minh hoạ và bố cục gọn gàng, đẹp mắt dễ đọc. Còn lại về nội dung thì mỗi sự kiện được vài dòng, liệt kê quá nhiều nên cứ trôi tuột đi không đọng lại được gì, và không có cảm hứng để đọc hết nổi 😅

It of course doesn't go too in-depth about any event. However, I think that it does spark interest in many events, which leads to further research.
It's easy to read, east to follow and absolutely great for children. Even adults will learn a whole lot from this fun, colorful book.
