Wow! This is quite a read, I must say! 287 pages of world history presented through maps, pictures and grids. DK has attempted the impossible and almost succeeded brilliantly, if it were not for Professor Jeremy Black's worldview, which colors the book.
Let me begin by saying that the book is a visual and intellectual treat, inspite of my 3-star rating, and I will explain the reason for that later. It gives perspective-albeit a European one- to events in world history, which help make sense of mo...more

This is a stupendous book. I'm reading it as a companion to The Penguin History of The World, it really enriches the experience of that dense but wonderful text.
It's a gigantic book and there are so very many maps, showing everything from the spread of the first cities, to the trade routes of empires, and development of religions from their regional beginning. I've only read the first section because I'm following ancient history at the moment, but I've flicked ahead and they are vast numbers of...more

essential reference for me. More up-to-date stuff on the web, of course, but this book compilation is the best I've found for a general guide.

This is a pretty good reference that shows you most topics on a global format. Whether it's the spread of the black death or rise of certain crops and inventions, there's a lot of sidebar text and maps of the world. Perhaps its my pickiness, but the maps are a bit small compared to the possibilities, but they're still readable and worth a look.
I think of this as the book-length version of those little world maps about history that are generally in the beginning pages of most atlases of the world...more

A little difficult for what I was wanting. I do use it quite a bit when I read historical fiction. Most likely not what the author intended but I find it quite useful to me for that.
It's a very large and heavy book, not something to just carry around with you.

Most of us digest history by reading or watching a documentary, or even taking a college course on a particular thread, like taking a drive through a countryside to get the feel of a landscape. When you look at that same landscape on google maps, you see something different, and understand how everything connects. In the same way, a good historical atlas is essential to get a sense of how all these histories fit together. The DK atlas is the best I have ever seen for doing this. The graphics are...more

A very serious book, tons of information presented in detailed maps and on easy to read charts. A great read, fun and very informative. One of my all time favourites, I bring it everywhere with me(even though it is about two and a half kilos in weight) and I never get tired of flicking through its pages.

World History Atlas by DK Publishing (DK Publishing 2001) (911). This is a very thorough atlas that I fished out of the free bin at my friendly neighborhood used book shop. It's functional and useful. My rating: 7.5/10, finished 2014.
This book is not one you just sit down and read. The maps are great and the texts scattered around each map page is informative but hard to follow when deciding where to start reading. It is a great way to put history in context because so much can be happening all over the world at once.
