Review by Library Journal Review
The "Big Ideas Simply Explained" series now includes nine volumes, covering topics ranging from science to crime, each exploring a subject in one- to three- page-long topical bursts, accompanied by dazzling visuals. These latest volumes are bright and lively, printed on slick pages, and chock-full of photos and diagrams addressing key people and concepts. For instance, The Art Book's almost 100 entries (with additional paragraph-length notes on specific works) are organized chronologically, from cave art to well-known creations from the modern age, ending with a 2010 video piece. -VERDICT Engaging topic overviews for teens and adults alike, with enough detail to guide curious readers toward deeper resources.
