My Review: This is a fascinating and mesmerizing book filled with so much information and beautiful photographs; I fell in love with it immediately. I have never owned an atlas like this, and I had no idea what I was missing. This book has so much information that there is no way I can review the entire thing in this blog post so I will just highlight my favorite parts.

The Health and Medicine section was awesome! Filled with so much information about staying healthy, including herbs and spices for your health and how viral infections work and their differences.

I loved all the history incorporated. History class was never as interesting as reading some of this, and looking at all the pictures, maps and timelines included. It was so interesting to see how our history has progressed since ca 100,000 years ago!

This book made interesting dinner conversations many times and I love to bring it out when I’m having people over. Everyone loves to flip through this and it never fails to impress. The trivia/quiz master section was so much fun for this!

 Recommendation: I loved this book and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in history or travel, or for any student. There is just so much useful information in it.
