The Encyclopaedia Britannica/Getty Images History of the World in Photographs

The Encyclopædia Britannica/Getty Images History of the World in Photographs brings together the world’s most respected reference company and the largest photography collection in existence for an unprecedented look at our world and its recent history. Surveying the last century and a half through a combination of rare photos and thorough text, this book is an amazing source for any history buff.

Encyclopaedia Britannica contributes the extensive reference expertise for which it is world famous, including more than 6,000 timeline entries and numerous in-depth articles on Science, Medicine and Technology; Religion, Philosophy and Education; History and Politics; Business and Commerce; Daily Life and Society and the Arts.

The thousands of striking photographs that Getty Images has selected from its vast archive add an incredible immediacy to the events and people being examined. As an added bonus, the book comes with a CD-ROM that includes an additional 20,000 images for those who want to delve even further.

Presenting the “big picture” of history while at the same time delivering a dizzying amount of detail, this is truly a reference work for the ages. Additional $1.29 shipping charge.

Disappointed
October 29, 2008

Some images are so small that a magnifying glass is necessary to read the small print. It was not stated in the QPB blurb that all the features of the CD were not available on a MAC. Most disappointing, however, is the fact that the photographer is not identified. I was hoping to be able to learn who was responsible for these great images.
