All of Us: A Young People's History of the World by Christophe Ylla-Somers

1.0

A very low rating to a wonderful idea because this book is so full of historical errors. Honestly the information in this book cries out to be up to date. Not least of all should the out dated terms of "Old World" and "New World" should be dropped simply for the fact that historically it's inaccurate and geographically impossible. Even the adage of historical figures should have been updated with more women and non-European historical figures. The concept of this book would have been difficult enough with a very brief and vague look at the history of humanity and regrettably this book is not up to the task. It's hard to know what age group this book was meant for and realistically it will please no one.
