The History Book by DK (2016, 978-1-4654-4510-0)

This book discusses human history from prehistoric times to recent events.

There are many books on history, but if you want an overview of the subject I think this book is good.

The book covers many individuals and events from many cultures.

The choice of who to include and what events to cover must have been difficult.

For some reason the authors choose not to cover Jesus of Nazareth. Seems like he would have been a figure worthy of mention. Christianity is a very large world wide religious movement.  I guess the authors wanted to show how "cool" they were by having a section on Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) and a section on Muhammad (the Prophet of Islam.)
