Don't Waste you money and time- Inaccurate Information Reported
In my opinion it's a nice looking book with pictures. But with inaccurate data. I found several dates reported on factual events to lack accuracy. Ex: the construction and the fall of the Berlin wall. It had inaccurate dates. Also the information reported on South America has the wrong year as well. I found the book lacked a wider historical background/timeline on other parts of world history such as Asia, the Middle East and South America. Furthermore, theories have been described as factual. Ex: The Big Bang theory or the evolution of men evolving from apes. The book provides a Darwinism ideology vs. describing them as theories. See pictures for reference.
I think there are other books available to help get a holistic view of world history/timeline. Without exposing oneself to incorrect information.
