This is basically a collection of very loosely organised trivia. It's mostly pretty cool trivia! But I guess I was expecting more substance and discussion. The illustrations are also kind of a weird choice - lots of stuff really needs photos but they've got loads of good drawings which are impressive but a sort of inadequate substitute especially when they miss details. I'm mostly looking up stuff on my phone to see photos of what they talk about. Enjoying the trivia but don't really see this being more than a 3 star book. A lot of it feels like reading Wikipedia except less in depth and without helpful photos - the book is helpful in pointing you to things but I ended up looking stuff up even past the photos constantly because the book missed out stuff even on the basic level. Also I always wonder to what extent I can trust the factual side when there's so many random facts from different areas being presented and when big issues get reduced to very short brief bits that don't even hint at the complicatedness behind them. Maybe that's kind of unfair - I guess it's just almost everything is at a shallow level like I say so it's not much more than trivia. Overall it's fine and there's lots of interesting stuff mentioned but as a "field guide" it falls way short and I'm not sure whether the book has much advantage over Wikipedia. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
