"A single volume; a great price; wonderful, clear illustrations and fascinating text -- this is a superb one-volume companion for any reader of history who wants to be able quickly to visualize the geography he or she is reading about. The maps are clear and excellent, and the index is comprehensive, giving the book great utility as a reference source. But the book is more than a reference; each two-age spread is its own self-contained "chapter" of fascinating, well-written historic insights and timeline-analysis into a region's or a period's history. Some reviews fault the book for being Eurocentric; on the contrary, I found that its "global" approach -- given the size constraints of a one-volume, manageable book -- was refreshing and modern. Hunt the internet for more inexpensive copies; I got it new from the Chicago Theological Seminary Co-op bookstore at a great price."
"Not many books change the entire way you look at history... this one did. Just an unbelievable book, with each spread offering a detailed map of a certain period of history, from the earliest hominids right up to 1999. The scholarship required to put these together was staggering, but what a fabulous result. I read only a map or two per day to make sure I soaked it all in... just sorry that it's over. Here's hoping for a revised edition with the last 10 years included!"
