My my, no written reviews about this encyclopedia? Well, here we go then.
This encyclopedia is divided into 4 sections : physics and chemistry, earth and weather, space, and living world. Frankly, I skimmed the first section - I am not much of a physics (or chemistry) guy. However, the rest of the sections were extremely informative. I relished the last two sections, mainly because I have always been curious about the space and passionate about animals. Trying to mention what all topics it contains would be impossible (after all, it is an encyclopedia!).
It is actually written in simple English, so much so that a child can very easily read it. And the title having "visual" in it was by no measure a lie. There are indeed over a thousand coloured photographs in it, all well done.
Naturally, being published in 1998, it is very slightly (negligibly) outdated especially when talking about related links. But since it is based on facts, vast majority of it is overwhelming accurate. Go for it. ;)
