worth it for the photos

It's surprising to me now, knowing that Reader's Digest - the same publisher of Catholic Digest, printed this massive and still useful work. I remember using it in the late 70's for a grade 7 project and I still like to flip through it now. Even if much of the information has been revised, even just focussing on the last 10,000 years and the photos from ancient cultures still makes me glad I swipe it from my Mom. nina [...]

The Greatest Publication ever!

This great book, filled with fascinating pages oh history and historical figures, is a must for everybody. I have been using this book for many years now and it has helped me in school work and projects a great deal. The Last Two Million Yars is an in depth book with excellent pictures and wonderfully presented information. This is definately a must!!! C'est très bon livre!

A Must For The Gifted

In the realm of education, there exist relativly few resources that match this thick faux marble book in terms of it's coverage. I must grant that the information in the forward about the paradigm of evolution through common descent is not just old, but that it is clearly out of step with what the Genome project has confirmed about the Out of Africa theories. Oh yes, and the label applied to Homo Habalis, "1490 Man" is a cue alone to the age of this volume. But please forgive its anachorisms. This was, and remains a ground-breaking publication for Readers Digest, or any house for that matter, simply for all of the fields that it covers in such and interesting and lucid narrative. I started reading this at the age of 5. I can only hope that there is something comparable in the publishing world that would amount to an update on this. The Universe in a Nutshell by Hawkings is not enough. Get this for your kid, today!
