  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  (+) Quyển này theo mình chính xác là một phiên bản tóm tắt của bách khoa toàn thư. (1) Thông tin hàm súc, (2) hình ảnh minh hoạ trực quan, (3) màu sắc sống động, (4) chủ đề bao quát từ vi mô đến vĩ mô. Xuất sắc.
  
  (-) Vì lượng thông tin khá lớn nên không tránh khỏi sự nhàm chán (mức độ vừa phải) ở những vùng kiến thức bạn đã biết. Tuy nhiên tần suất này không đáng kể so với toàn bộ nội dung.
  
  Tổng quan thì mình chấm em này 4.5! Mùa dịch mà đọc em này thì không lệch đi đâu được =))))

  Чудова ілюстрована енциклопедія формату «для всієї сім'ї», яку можна переглядати кожного дня, щоб дізнатися щось нове про світ. Якісна кольорова поліграфія дозволяє насолоджуватися кожною сторінкою: від виникнення Всесвіту до будови людського ока.

The book utilizes illustrations, maps, chart, and timelines to help students better understand what things in each chapter mean.
  Accuracy/ Authority/ Bias: This book was published by DK with help from the Smithsonian. The Smithsonian is a well-known and highly respected authority on information. The addition of their information to these topics makes this book a viable and excellent resource for students.
  Arrangement/ Presentation: The book is arranged into the six categories mentioned above. Each category contains vast information on each topic which includes images to aid visual learners. Each section is broken down further for students. In the table of contents students can see color coded boxes which tell them what section they are looking at and what is in the section. With corresponding page numbers.
  Relation to other works: There are many different encyclopedias available to students today but this one meets requirements for libraries that need a more comprehensive knowledge with visuals on the six topics included.
  Accessibility/ Diversity: The illustrations help visual learners to better understand the tough topics being presented. While the language remains unbiased for each topic so students are able to form their own opinions on the materials at hand.

  Professional Review: From Booklist
  Packed with information in six sections (“Space,” “Earth,” “Nature,” “Human Body,” “Science” and “History”), this lavishly illustrated volume provides accessible and engaging information for middle-grade learners and up. Every page is tightly laid out with facts, photos, illustrations, and impressive 3-D renditions. Although too broad for targeted research, the Smithsonian Knowledge Encyclopedia allows readers to become immersed in the details and visuals that abound. This text fits the bill for school and public libraries interested in general reference at a reasonable price point. --Blaire Ranucci

  "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.

  There is only one word to describe this book - Wow! This book is truly everyone's (including Librarians) encyclopedia and knowledge handbook dream! Holds everything that you have ever wanted to know about... everything! Uses text and computer-generated artworks to provide detailed, realistic explorations of a wide range of topics in six broad categories. Also includes glossary.

  Fascinating and full of different topics for kids (or grownups) to explore and become immersed in.
