      The book was all in tact this time and good to go as a present. Thank you for swift replacement. Appreciated.

      I have always tried to get into history through YouTube channels like Oversimplified and History Matters but I always found I lost interest, even though the videos were high quality and engaging. However, with this world history atlas, I found reading it to be super fun. I love how I can piece together everything that happens at every moment in time without going into unmanageable depth. I would definitely recommend this atlas to anyone interested in getting a brief overview of world history.

      This is a gift but looks to be good. I put four stars as I have not explored it properly.

      Great book if you love maps and history. It’s a Smithsonian book so that’s a plus.

      Este livro não é uma mera coleção de mapas, mas tem também uma coleção de mapas. É uma ferramenta que eu considero quase fundamental para qualquer um que goste de história, mostrando os lugares e, nesses lugares, os eventos que ocorreram. Cidades que foram fundadas, populações que migraram, produtos e rotas comerciais e, é claro, guerras e movimentações de militares.
      Cada mapa tem, é claro, um recorte ou um enfoque específico, tanto ditado pelo tempo histórico quanto pelo limite de informações que é possível colocar em uma página, então pode ser que certos recortes de certos eventos não contemplem todos os interesses, mas considero que os autores selecionaram bem aquilo que queriam retratar.
      E os mapas em si são lindos, todos eles retratam o relevo da região que está na página, corpos de água e outros acidentes geográficos sempre aparecem, o que ajuda a visualizar e informar os eventos. Há um uso abundante de cores, mas não sem critério: cada cor corresponde a um período de alguns anos, a subdivisão temporal dos mapas, então é possível rapidamente separar a linha do tempo de cada mapa simplesmente olhando para a cor. Isso torna os mapas pouco poluídos por colorações desnecessárias e rápido de consultar visualmente.
      É esta programação visual que, na minha opinião, tornam esta obra superior, porque torna-se muito ágil ler cada mapa e não há entulho visual que possa cansar o leitor. Encontrar os mapas na obra é igualmente fácil, já que cada período histórico está bem separado e também codificado por cor. Todos os mapas possuem uma ilustração de um artefato exemplificativo da cultura ou da época retratada, de modo que também é fácil diferenciar os mapas uns dos outros, mesmo os que retratam uma mesma região.
      É justamente esta facilidade de uso que torna este livro uma ferramenta poderosa e indispensável para qualquer amante ou estudante de História.

      Muy buen libro excelentes presentaciones.

    12. Romy Foley

      I bought this as a gift, it’s a great book with really clear information and helps link history to a lot of geographical factors & issues. This is not the kind of book you would buy if you wanted lots of detailed information about a specific historical event, it is much more broad and gives you a base knowledge of key points in history. I really liked the graphics and it is a great quality book.

    13. Hammarstam Mats

      Mycket fint illustrad bok med kartor och fakta rutor. I kartorna är pilar med årtal och riktning inritade.
      Boken är indelad i olika tidsepoker: Prehistory, The Ancient world, Middle Ages, The Early Modern World, Revolution And Industy, Progress and Empire och The Modern World.
      Mycket intressant med historia och kartor tillsammans!

      Rekommenderar denna bok som present eller till dig själv.
