ImperfectCJ Ooh! That's a nice looking one! I might need to put that on my son's wishlist... 4y
TheAromaofBooks @ImperfectCJ - Obviously the history is very general because the book literally covers pretty much everything you could think of, but there are SO MANY maps that it seems like a great supplemental read to other historical studies, as well as a fun way to find the next time/region of history to read. I'm a sucker for maps, and a sucker for DK's glossy, colorful, engaging reads, so this was a no-brainer... luckily my husband likes maps, too 😁 4y
ImperfectCJ @TheAromaofBooks My son is super into maps and history, so I'm always on the lookout. We have a couple of kid ones he really likes, but he's starting to want a little more than they offer. Atlas of World History (tagged) is quite good, but it looks like the maps are larger (and maybe easier to read) in the one you have. 4y
Atlas of World History

TheAromaofBooks @ImperfectCJ - oh, he would probably like this one. It's about 12“ x 14“, and the maps/info cover a full page spread, so they are pretty easy to read/see. It's also interesting because the book is divided up into rough eras, but covers world history. So, there's a map of dwindling Native American territory, and then the next page is a map of the French Revolution - it puts events side-by-side that you don't necessarily think of as concurrent. 4y
TheAromaofBooks @ImperfectCJ - thanks for tagging the other book. I'm always on the lookout for atlases of all types!! 4y
