Personal Review: The Usborne Internet-Linked Encyclopedia Of
World History by Jane Chisholm
I have purchased more than 35 BOOKS recently from
AMAZON.COM.Since I am
a PETROLEUM GEOSCIENTIST, I am more interested with Petro-
technical books,

and normally I spent lots of times to do my own research for my projects.
I read a lot of PETROLEUM GEOLOGY, GEOPHYSICS, PETROLEUM
ENGINEERING BOOKS for OILFIELDS RESEARCH.
I seldom pay much attention on other things particularly on unnecessary
entertainments. I am very well aware that other people or friends of
other professions are also very busy & occupied with their own jobs.
History seems to be only for a leisure thing to read. Or else for the
BRITISH might be interested with HISTORY of ENGLAND or the
CHINESE, we are
only interested with our 4600 years of DYNASTIES, likewise other RACES
might be interested with their own country or own races' histories.
In this sense, most of us are very narrow & shallow with very limited
knowledge of what really happened in the past:HISTORY, unless you are
a college major in HISTORY.
When I flipped open this excellent book:Encyclopedia of WORLD
HISTORY by
THE USBORNE, I was amazed with such a complete comprehensive
coverage of
so much knowledge of WORLD HISTORY in a very simple interesting way
with
very good pictures of what really happened in the PAST!!
From 4,550 million years ago when the EARTH was formed to PRESENT
2,000 years of the
NEW MILLENIUM. This book is so wonderful, it covered a very well
documented portion of HISTORICAL GEOLOGY for the geology majors
and moving onwards to the Development of MANKINDS & WORLD
EVENTS.
I am impressed indeed that this history book is for all RACES & NATIONS
in a very
concise(condensed) history of the world events.
For these reasons, it offered the readers to have a very broad horizon
about the affairs & events of MANKIND since the EARTH's FORMATION.
In this case, it will not restrict me from only knowing the HISTORY of my
own country: CHINA!! It gives me the opportunity to know about
ENGLAND,
RUSSIA, IRAN, INDIA etc. Even the details were very condensed, it
served
as a primer for anyone who are interested to know more and will start
digging
into more detailed histories of the world on the condition that they have
more time!!

I am very impressed by the Authors: JANE BINGHAM, FIONA
CHANDLER, SAM
TAPLIN and the complete RESEARCH TEAM & CONSULTANTS.
OBVIOUSLY this TEAM
is composed of A TOP-NOTCH TEAM of BRITISH HISTORICAL
SCHOLARS!! I thank you for
your efforts and a fine job done!!
If more people will read this comprehensive HISTORY BOOK of THE
WORLD, I am sure there will be less prejudice in this world and there will
be more understandings
and cooperations for a better future of the WORLD!!
I would like to meet
the AUTHORS: Ms.JANE BINGHAM, Ms.FIONA CHANDLER and Mr.SAM
TAPLIN if possible in the future.
I strongly recommend EVERY PUBLIC LIBRARY must keep a copy of this
BOOK!!
I hope CHINA will translate this book into CHINESE for the young people
to
learn what really happened in the PAST of the WORLD!!
It is indeed a very GOOD BOOK!!ENCYCLOPEDIA of WORLD HISTORY!!
THANK YOU AMAZON for letting me to share my humble opinion!!
BEST REGARDS,
