Indispensable for every home, library, and office, The Knowledge Book distills thousands of years of humankind's most significant ideas and achievements- explains how they are linked and why they are important-and packs everything into a single, irresistibly readable volume. The richly illustrated pages burst with essential facts from all major fields of knowledge: science, technology, philosophy, art, religion, economics, and more. Loaded with cross-referencing, fact boxes, and other helpful features, the book is topically organized into five sections: Earth and Space; Mathematics and the Sciences; Politics and Economics; Religion, Philosophy, and Psychology; and the Arts. An introductory spread opens each section, summarizing its biggest ideas and discoveries. Time lines and fact boxes place events in the context of history, while sidebars add interesting details on processes, inventions, and artistic techniques. Famous personalities are introduced in highlighted columns. Finally, each section ends with a notation that lists the major issues to be resolved in our day. Color-coded tabs guide readers through the book and support this innovative and accessible approach. More than a thousand vibrant images captivate readers who enjoy visual learning and function as a colorful catalog of essential knowledge.

Review on Knowledge Book by National Geographic.
I have always enjoyed almost all the creations by the National Geographical Society. They are very determined and hard working individuals to bring the best to us and this publication is the proof of the pudding. Font is smaller as otherwise would have made the edition much larger and expensive probably. Covers very many topics in its concise and comprehensive format. Very good reference for one's library as Knowledge is Power after all..

What's to know?
This is a great book with a whole heap of interesting and valuable (at least in my opinion) information. I put this out on my coffee table and read a page or two whenever I get the chance. The book covers a large variety of topics from space to animals. Most of it scientific in nature with some sparce historical information. Overall, very happy with my purchase.

Encyclopedia a la National Geographic style!
1st of all this book is huge : slightly wider than an A4 size. Around 500 pages, hardcover and fully and colourly illustrated. National Geographic doesn't do things lightly - the colour schemes, glossy pages, and broad academical information will certainly appeal any connoisseur or anyone remotely interested in such fields as astronomy, physical sciences, inventions, technology, mathematics, social sciences, economics, philosophy, religions, arts, architecture, films and litterature among other things! Anybody with an interest in General & Scientific knowledge, as well as anyone involved in anthropology, cultural studies and especially sociology will find the book very interesting (believe me) at a very worthy price (of £11.81 when I bought it) on amazon! You might perhaps personally find that it doesn't go far enough in your topics of expertise but at the same time you'll look and learn about other topics with such renewed interests! Totally recommended!
