Atlas of World History Hardcover – Illustrated, 15 Oct. 2010

My daughter enjoyed it

I chose to buy "Atlas of World History" because i often need quick information and a historical frame about any given geographical region in my studies. For that, Atlas of World History works well. Large maps, good index system - and not too much information.The only thing i don't like is it's layout. The colors used for graphical elements are a bit off (white+bright blue+grey), and the fonts are very small (my guess is size 9). The maps are not the nicest quality either, and looks more like something from Google Maps than from an actual atlas. Because of this the Atlas of World History looks like a cheap schoolbook, which is sad because it deserves something better.

Content of book looks good but text is really small and difficult to read. Should have been a two volume title or a larger format book. I returned the one I bought,
