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).
Given this royal treatment includes sites ranging from Egypt’s pyramids, Greece’s Olympic Games, Pompeii moments before its destruction, the Great Wall of China defending an attack, and even a Western frontier town.
From Michael's list on amazing history for readers young and old.
