Why read it?
1 author picked Incredible History as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
If The Usborne Encyclopedia of World History is a time machine, then this book does not just bring you to the past; it allows you to interact with it. Arranged in alternating couplets are modern photographs of what a place looks like today, followed by highly realistic three-dimensional illustrations of what the spot must have looked like at its prime (on the next page).

From Michael's list on amazing history for readers young and old.
