Poor book2
(...)In a nutshell... This book compares very poorly to the Usborne
history books covering earlier periods (my daughter and I love
those books). This book is only suitable for older children, since
they squeeze in a lot of text. What I really don't like is the
artibrary, idiosyncratic and often idiotic selection of what
events of the 20th century are "notable".

I was very impressed with this book4
I'm not too familar with Usborne books because I only have three usborne books. I purchased this book at a homeschool convention. It was marked down in price. I was and am still very impressed at the amount of information it contains. Admittedly it is for older kids probably more for Jr high and high school. I might try a study of it when my son is in 6th but I'll have to see. I have read quite a bit of it myself and it seems very thorough.
