As a major fan of the 'Ology' books I stumbled across this one at a local outdoor market. With the thought 'nothing can beat the 'ology' series' I had a pleasant suprise and found it to be every bit as good.
With a strange head on the front cover, surrounded by blue and embossed copper on front and back.
Inside is a passport, a map, some fantastic representations of Tutankhamun in gold finish, comprehensive information from Russia, India, Tibet, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Mexico, Siam, Caribbean and Ecuador.
There is an amazing representation in copper of the Burmese Pagoda, a pop-up of an 18 foot long tailed chicken from Japan, an interesting trophy from New Guinea and a reproduction of a human head with 'real' hair from Peru.
At the rear is a 'disk-o -knowledge' with more information about some significant famous people from history and finished off with a built in King Tut bookmarker.
A very high quality finished book with some wonderful real life photographs, lots of information and excellent special effects.
Younger children may find some of this information and pictures disturbing, so it's more suited to older children and those who have a fascination with other cultures and countries.
Overall well worth the money and highly recommended.
