4.0 out of 5 stars Good Introduction with photos, illustrations and facts, Oct 16 2001
By 
Jigar Shah "ghost in the machine" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: India (Hardcover)
I was searching for a good book on India, with a historical bent, as a gift for a friend here in the US. This book provides a very good introduction with pictures, illustrations and relevant facts. The book provides a general outline of history and more importantly also introduces the reader to the general mindset & prevailing conditions ("cultural atlas") in India. It also provides some basic information on the states and neighbouring countries like Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan & Burma.

The special features sections focus on the things that people of India are most likely to be known about. Most people will not remember everything about a culture/nation. They will probably remember only the most interesting things and the special features of this book present these in a clear, understandable manner, i.e mostbly agreeable to people like me who have grown up in India.

Non-fiction books are hard to read for some people, these people are looking to escape from the ordinary. This book will interest the reader into reading & learning more about India. As for fantasy the readers might want to try tales, parables and comics like Jataka stories, Amar Chitra Katha...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference book!, Aug 16 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: India (Hardcover)
As an Indian, I'm wary when "outsiders" put together a book on my country, but this book is exceptional. It gives facts and general descriptions of anything and everything when one thinks of India. Lots of pictures makes it an easy read. Worth every penny. This is the book teachers in America should use when trying to give an overview on INDIA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book on Ancient and Modern India, Dec 22 2010
By Mohanji - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: India (Hardcover)
I saw this book in the local library and read it This is an excellent book.I am impressed by the quality of the material, printing and presentation. I would recommend it as "coffee table book" for families who want to know about India. Although I bought it as "Used book" it was as good as new.
