A Faith Like Mine2 reviews
DK Publishing

DK CHILDREN, 2005

Nice colorful introductory book on world religions

Very appealing and interesting for all ages. As a Baha'i, I am delighted that this book actually includes our Faith. We are, after all, the second most widespread religion in the world. It's nice to see that this book, unlike some others, included us and got with the program!

Best one

+ DK Concise Atlas of the World
+ Well, I think it's pretty good...

I have checked around and if you want detail, DK is the best I could find. Concise has a few less pages but the maps appeared the same, perhaps just less filler

I was pleasantly surprised that this book was able to cover a number of aspects of photography, both historical and technical. As always, do not expect a 340 page book to cover everything, especially if it is taking a wide-angle view of photography. The book starts with a 40-page chapter ...
