Knowledge Encyclopedia: The World as You've Never Seen it Before Review: HUGE! Chock full of footnotes and facts and brilliant custom diagrams and illustrations - You can easily spend weeks reading through all these pages and looking at diagrams. Very intuitive and engaging way of presenting things like the Periodic Table of elements with insets on valence electron atom structure, as just one example. I love how some pages just take a very deep dive with elaborate diagrams and cross sections of some very detailed topic and develop it, even though this is primarily a large high level overview. Organization is done very well, and I am still finding details and little anecdotes and facts noted on page headers that I missed. I really love how DK books present information, and they have done a great job not just "recycling" pictorials and diagrams from many of their other books (a very small number either similar or reused, but in different scale and developed in a very different way) so don't worry about doubling up too much on their other books (like picturepedia or space or dinosaurs) as they come at things and develop them out quite distinctly to make it worth owning all of them. Review: My daughter loved it - I bought this book for my daughter and she loved it, it is very complete, it has very interesting facts and the quality of the photos are very good.

HUGE! Chock full of footnotes and facts and brilliant custom diagrams and illustrations
You can easily spend weeks reading through all these pages and looking at diagrams. Very intuitive and engaging way of presenting things like the Periodic Table of elements with insets on valence electron atom structure, as just one example. I love how some pages just take a very deep dive with elaborate diagrams and cross sections of some very detailed topic and develop it, even though this is primarily a large high level overview.

Bought as a gift (perhaps check with parents first)
I thought it was interesting and the adults enjoyed flipping through while the kids were distracted by toys. The pictures are large and very interesting and the text is mostly in captions, so there’s not a ton of reading but the vocab level is high. There about 2 pages per topic, so it covers a lot. Keep in mind the Biology pages have a pretty large image of ovaries and eggs with a description of fertilization. Nothing inappropriate or inaccurate but the receiver was young (very bright) so I checked to make sure they were ready for conversations if they hadn’t had them yet.

Child likes the book.
My child likes the book a lot. Parents should know that the book contains reproductive information. It is done in a scientific manor. It does contain a picture of Michelangelo's David. It also contains information about non-binary people.

Lots of facts and the illustrations are fantastic. Covers a wide range of topics, so a good introduction to each area for starters. The book is quite heavy.

Gayet güzel bir ürün. Bu tarz kitapların Türkiye'de basılmaması çok kötü.
