This bloated and grotesquely overpriced set is woefully incomplete, failing to cover subjects that any student or teacher of world history would naturally expect to find therein! For instance, there is NO coverage of the Punic Wars, the pivotal conflicts that led to the hegemony of Rome (not to mention that Hannibal, arguably the most brilliant general in history, is ignored). Caveat emptor! For the money a much better option is the 7-volume Encyclopedia of World History edited by Ackerman et al. and released in 2008 by Facts on File.
