This is an impressive achievement

This is an impressive achievement. The cartooning seems to waver somewhat in these later chapters, becoming sketchier and scratchier, losing a lot of the supple expressiveness of line that made the early chapters This is an impressive achievement.

Larry Gonick's "The Cartoon History of the Universe", New York, USA, 2001. vo. - from the Big Bang to the evolution of humans from apes. In the beginning - a Big Bang. Here, we deal with a theory of cosmology, or of the origin of the Universe. Gases cooled to form galaxies, (mostly) spiral in shape and motion. In one of the galaxies, a star was formed, which flattened out into "a Solar system", a system with a star and a number of planets circling around it.

I hated history as a kid, so i was determined to see that my kids had an early start in a format they would be addicted to.

IT WORKED. They're both avid history buffs, thanks to the entire Cartoon History series. (and know miles more than I do about history!)

These books were our foundation/entry homeschool history books starting from as soon as they could read them. Highly recommended.

I have the print version of cartoon history of the Universe Volumes 1-7. I have read some of the Gonick cartoon books and give them 5 stars. As I am having difficulty seeing up close now, I get books on Kindle and have it go to my computer so that I can expand the print and see the text better. I ordered volumes 1-7 with that intent. I found that I could expand the text with other books from Amazon; however, when I tried to expand the text with the Gonick book, the icons that allow for expansion were greyed out - suggesting that the Kindle version is not text - but simply a photograph of the page and that is not expandable. The print was too small for me to read, so I returned the "book". When I returned the book I was asked why I returned the book and was given several options - no of which applied - so I checked other. I looked for a box so that I could explain in detail why I returned the book - but I did not see any way to do this.

I had originally bought this book for use in my waiting room. However, some of the sexual humor and the irreverant approach to religious figures meant that it was a "stay at home" book. (Don't tell the IRS)

Now that the book is in its proper place, I should add that I enjoyed it immensely and went on to buy Volumes 2 and 3. (not on my office account though)The book starts with evolution of the earth and its creatures. The pictures were well done and the humor makes the factual material easier to remember.

The bulk of the book deals with the history of the human race. The author does not confine himself to European civilization. Two of my children read all three volumes, and I did not have to hassle them to do it. How often does this happen with other history texts? I am hoping to use their interest in some of the historical topics to encourage them to read other books. Each section of the Cartoon History contains a reference section for those who desire further reading.

Ideally this book should be a companion to serious textbooks on history. However, there are a lot of people who are unwilling and unable to absorb material from textbooks or lectures. People who are visual learners may be able to remember the pictures and the humor when they have trouble remembering college lecutres or long passages of text. I have recommended this and some other of the author's books to individuals who were having trouble with basic college classes.

I read this book when I was in elementary school and loved it. I was fascinated and it gave me a much wider perspective on history and the repeating patterns throughout history than school provided. My son started reading my original copies in 3rd grade and also loves them. He's on the second (red) book now.

The author doesn't sugar-coat history. At least I hope not because then history was more violent and petty than it already was. There are a couple of pages I suspect my late 1980's parents would have been uncomfortable with me reading when I was a kid. I grew up OK though, so I didn't worry about my son reading them on his own.

A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down in such a delightful way, as the great philosopher Mary Poppins once said. Mr. Gonick knows how to teach serious material in a fun and easily understood way. All of his academic graphic novels are worth reading if you deal with the subject at hand. I'm a substitute teacher and use them to get some grounding in various subjects. The regular teachers are often familiar with his book on their subject, and respect it - some of their teachers used them. History of course is the most entertaining subject, worth reading for fun. The fact that this one goes all the way back to the Big Bang and explains how the Universe and the Earth were formed makes it even better.

I got this to make history more interesting for my son. It wasn't really useful for school because they didn't go that far back in history.

Still it is really engaging and humorous, maybe even when what was happening wasn't funny at all.

Phenomenal. Creative. Interesting. Absolutely loved it the first time I read it.....many, many, many years ago! He's great!

I love this book, I have all three in the series, and can't wait for more. It's the best history teaching book I have read, it should be in every high school classroom! Yes, there are parts that young kids shouldnt read (the parts with the greeks and boys, but it actually happened, so dont blame the author, he keeps it pretty PG). A lot of history has stuck in that I wouldn't remember otherwise. The only reason that this didn't get 5 stars is that in the last chapter, the art style changes dramatically, for the worse, in my oponion. But thats just a small nitpick, and otherwise, its a great, great book.
