Britannica all New Children’s Encyclopedia: What We Know and What We Don’t Edited by Christopher Lloyd

Britannica Books ISBN 9781912929471 £25

This stunning book is a treasure trove of information. Visually superb, facts are presented in engaging, accessible formats such as Factastic, Listified, Known Unknown and Multiple Choice Quizzes. Information is at an appropriate level, but has not been dumbed down. The book covers the Universe, Earth, Matter, Life, Humans, Ancient and Medieval Times, Modern Times and Today and Tomorrow. Over 170 topics have been verified by 100 experts in the field. I particularly enjoyed the Notes from the experts where we meet researches and gain insights into their work.  The book is edited by the renowned Christopher Lloyd. There are more than a thousand fantastic photos and illustrations. Every time I open this compendium I have been intrigued by something new. Don’t miss it.
