History of the World Map by Map (DK History Map by Map) Hardcover – 5 Sept. 2023

Fantastic book to use as reference or dip in and out of. Used as a ‘coffee table’ book and it is been an interesting talking point with guests and the family.

Gorgeous coffee table type book. Bought it for my son. He loves it. Gorgeous pictures and maps.

Excellent coffee table book that can be picked up, read a little and then put down. Great information, easy to absorb and enjoy. Makes a great gift.

This History is a close relative of the Dorling Kindersley History of the World Map by Map.Same production team, same Foreword by Peter Snow, same printing in Malaysia.The Smithsonian version also includes a 78-page Timeline which is totally engrossing in its own right.Hence the Read-it-Now pages are almost exactly the same, except for outside covers.Only Four stars because the Smithsonian sells for £35.50 (on Amazon) whereas the shorter D-K sells for £17 (on Amazon today, and on 4th November I was able to buy D-K version for only £10.99).So I set out the Smithsonian open at the Timeline, and read the matching articles in the D-K.

My boyfriend is passionate about history and maps, so this book is perfect for people with the same interests. The book has arrived without a scratch, as it was packed with care :)

Received the order as stated in perfect condition. Very pleased

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.

Really good for beginners who want to start learning about history - very informative with colorful illustrations. It gives a wonderful introduction for a comprehensive overview for historical periods and places.
