Found this quite interesting so far. Just got book and am about 1/2 thru it. It's a little hard reading and found myself flipping back pages for names. Kind of jumps around and sometimes found myself wanting more information on the why and how come reasons. For the history buff, it is informative reading. Gives you insight to what - why some things were the way it was.

I love the ability to open this book to any page and learn something fascinating about human history.  It certainly doesn't contain all of human history but I was impressed at the breadth of information.

If your into history and feel you need a little refresher, this is not only the refresher but another course altogether.  Really fun to read, the book is written in question and answer format.  You'll learn some interesting things in here that may help you on the Trivial Pursuit board.

It is very dense with information that I was not aware of although I read a lot of history books.  I will probably read it twice.

While the "history" is mostly a series of editorial reviews combined with facts, you will learn about the basics and some interesting tidbits as well.  It's also a great way to have comprehensive listing of all of an artist's released music.

history buffs will like this book, there's much here, but it's only slightly better than watching a video on the event. It's quotable and is a good reference work.

The book gives you a lot of information on different things you would need in finding more on your family history. All the states are there with maps of each states and the counties are outline. It tells of the history of each state. There are ways to find court records along with cemetery records, genealogical society , etc...... addresses of places to write to, plus web sites.
It is well organized with each state giving details on different records. The book is perfect for people who are really interested in finding their roots.
