Review: 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.
Review: Good enough I bought a replacement when I lost it. - This book is a decade old now. I'd love to see a new edition come out. But regardless, I like this book enough that I just bought a replacement after losing it in a flood. Here's the subjects: The Universe, The Earth, Biology, Chemistry, Physics & Technology, Mathematics, Politics/Law/Economy, Religion, Philosophy, Psychology, Visual Arts, Architecture, Literature, Music, Film. All in bite-sized chunks of information with lots of illustrations. Easy to read but not juvenile. (There's no separate history section. It's covered under other topics.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Knowlege
*by C***E on January 28, 2015*

What can I say? This book has everything that you could possibly need. I bought this for my girlfriend, and she absolutely loves it! It is a high quality manufactured book with great pictures, and captions too. You can study the details of literally everything. I can't say enough great things about this all being in one book. National Geographic hit a home run. This is great for people who unfortunately didn't get a chance to learn all of this in school.
