"Asimov is brilliant. I love the chronological synopses of what has happened all over the world from the beginning of time until the present. Well written and highly informative."
"The best History book EVA! I am re-reading it for the 5th time. While History as a subject can sometimes be boring, Isaac's wry wit makes the collection of human events easily accessible. You would be hard pressed to find a historical event or person (pre 1945) not at least mentioned in this tome.
One of the best things is Asimov's spending the beginning of the book not only setting up the historical record of humanity, but taking existence all the way back to the "big bang" motoring through millions of years in a succinct and easy to understand way. Simply amazing that so much could be condensed into so little space."
