I can't believe this hardcover book is less than $30! When this book arrived, I showed it to my husband and asked him how much he thought I paid for the book. His answer was that he thought it was easily over $100. He was amazed when I told him how much I paid for it. The vast amount of illustrations and photographs are fantastic (it can be hard to tell which is which) and it contains so much information. I am a n artist and have used this book on several occasions for inspiration. It will always have space on my bookshelf until I am too old and feeble to pick up this heavy and rather large book. While it does have a Kindle version, I prefer my reference books to be hardcopies rather than a digital format. There is nothing like opening a book such as this to a random page just to see what there is. This is not a book that you can read from back to front (well, at least I can't), but to be experienced by looking up a specific species or to find treasures through random acts of book openings. I am currently doing to series on African birds thanks to the inspiration I've found in this book. But you don't have to be an artist to enjoy and admire this book! My 9-year old grandson who is obsessed with all things oceanic and knows every species of dinosaurs that has been discovered, loves this book every bit as much as I do! Well done, Penguin Random House, Dk, and the Smithsonian Institute for making such a book at such an affordable price range that almost anyone can afford. The quality of the book, while isn't superb (which would make it truly out of reach for most of us), it is really good. The pages are glossy and have a little bit of weight to them. It's not built to last generations, but that is not necessary to spark the imagination or the thirst for knowledge in a young mind. And isn't that the point? Review: Beautiful book for young and old - Nice gateway to advanced science classes for your budding student - I am blown away by the gorgeous images in this book. The huge array of topics paired with concise narratives make for a comprehensive reference book good for all ages. Our family particularly likes minerals, and the array descriptions is impressive. I decided to look in the glossary for, what I think, is an obscure mineral: Sodalite. Sure enough, there it was on page 61 in all its blue glory. While this would make a great coffee table book, the Kindle version is also excellent. Keep your device in landscape mode to view two pages at time and portrait mode for one page. You can zoom in and out to adjust view magnification. On the glossary… the print is quite fine, so I pretty much guarantee that you will need to zoom in to see the entries. For the price, particularly with Kindle, this book is an outstanding value. It is a nice gateway for youngsters to get ready for advanced science classes. Definitely 5 stars! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #16,828 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in History Encyclopedias #20 in Natural History (Books) #21 in Zoology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (614) | | Dimensions | 9.56 x 1.69 x 11.31 inches | | Edition | Second | | ISBN-10 | 0744035015 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0744035018 | | Item Weight | 6.38 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | DK Definitive Visual Encyclopedias | | Print length | 664 pages | | Publication date | November 2, 2021 | | Publisher | DK | ## Images ![Natural History (DK Definitive Visual Encyclopedias) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81m3417HWyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow! *by T***E on February 8, 2024* This is an amazing book!

It’s a heavy book, but it’s full of lovely information and good pictures when I’m trying to put together a piece from multiple ideas. ## Frequently Bought Together - Natural History (DK Definitive Visual Encyclopedias) - Zoology: Inside the Secret World of Animals (DK Secret World Encyclopedias) - Oceanology: The Secrets of the Sea Revealed (DK Secret World Encyclopedias) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/294994360-natural-history-dk-definitive-visual-encyclopedias](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/294994360-natural-history-dk-definitive-visual-encyclopedias) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
