This book is incredibly fun， even for adults。 I like to just sit and open it random and read about something interesting。 It covers all kinds of aspects of the world with amazing graphics and art to show you details and the insides of things。The sections include space， earth， nature， the human body， science， and history。 Details of what is included include things like starburst， the water cycle and glaciers， survival secrets of animals in nature， magnetism， the ancient world， the human body and This book is incredibly fun， even for adults。 I like to just sit and open it random and read about something interesting。 It covers all kinds of aspects of the world with amazing graphics and art to show you details and the insides of things。The sections include space， earth， nature， the human body， science， and history。 Details of what is included include things like starburst， the water cycle and glaciers， survival secrets of animals in nature， magnetism， the ancient world， the human body and brain power， and how chemicals work inside the human body。 And that’s just an incredibly brief overview。 There is also a nice little reference section in the back that has maps， lists， and things of that sort。You aren’t going to go in depth into anything of course， but it definitely gives you a quick overview and is interesting enough that you’ll be doing follow ups of your own。 I would like to have seen a nice bibliography， but that may be too much to ask。 。。。more

Enriching， thoughtful and informative experience。 I translated two parts of the encyclopedia and revised all of it。 Hopefully， my and my colleagues efforts will be fruitful and i wish we - as Arabs- have similar encyclopedias by arabian authors in the near future。

brilliant book。 I have read this book cover to cover several tines over （in no specific order）。 Good for kids from any age。 My eldest has loved it since he was four and still loves it two years later。 Detailed facts on a wide number of subjects without being too heavy。

"Knowledge Encyclopedia" covers a wide range of subjects from astronomy to biology， chemistry， physics， technology and history。 With various illustrations and colorful images， this book keeps me interested during the time I was reading it。 It might not give you the details on each point as you may expect， but it provides enough background ideas for us to enjoy this experience and learn something new。 "Knowledge Encyclopedia" covers a wide range of subjects from astronomy to biology， chemistry， physics， technology and history。 With various illustrations and colorful images， this book keeps me interested during the time I was reading it。 It might not give you the details on each point as you may expect， but it provides enough background ideas for us to enjoy this experience and learn something new。 。。。more

I've read the Knowledge Encyclopedia cover to cover and enjoyed it immensely。 It's easy to read， informative， and the illustrations are absolutely amazing。 Some might argue that the explanations don't go very deep， but that is to be expected from a general knowledge encyclopedia that covers a truly wide range of topics。 I've read the Knowledge Encyclopedia cover to cover and enjoyed it immensely。 It's easy to read， informative， and the illustrations are absolutely amazing。 Some might argue that the explanations don't go very deep， but that is to be expected from a general knowledge encyclopedia that covers a truly wide range of topics。 。。。more
