Wetenswaardigheden uit diverse periodes van de wereldgeschiedenis: prehistorie, Egyptische piramiden, ontdekkingsreizigers, arbeiders in de 19de eeuw, oorlog in de 19e en 20e eeuw. I like this book particularly because of it's approach to history--it isn't what you would expect. I like the comic book type illustrations that are a part of each section. The colorful illustrations alone should grasp the attention of many, but the nasty bits left in is the true attention grabber. The text is not monotonous and it would be a good addition to any history class. I think this book would be a great tool in a Social Studies classroom. While the book in its entirety many to be long, bits and pieces could be used. I see using a book like this at the beginning of a lesson to get the students interested in the time period that will be studied. I think it would be a great hook to get them excited. One of my favorite tie bits from the book is in a “Did You Know...?” section on page 21: To change the weather in Japan a dog was often killed with a shower of arrows. A block dog if they wanted rain, a white dog if they wanted fine weather. (Probably shot a Dalmatian if they wanted a spot of rain!) While the thought of killing dogs for a weather preference is a horrible and disgusting act, the authors give it a humorous twist with the addition of the Dalmatian comment. The whole book is laid out like that, horrific acts are given a humorous twist. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

The master of making history fun, Terry Deary, turns his attention to the foul but fascinating story of humans, from brain-nibbling Neanderthals to terrified teenage soldiers in the twentieth century. From gory stories of what smelly sport was played by samurais to who baked their enemies a cake made from poisoned bath-water, it's all in Horrible Histories: The Horrible History of the World.
