《世界简史(英文版)》：THIS SHORT HISTORY OF THE WORLD is meant tobe read straightforwardly almost as a novel is read. Itgives in the most general way an account of ourpresent knowledge of history, shorn of elaborationsand complications. It has been amply illustrated and everything hasbeen done to make it vivid and clear. From it the reader should be ableto get that general view of history which is so necessary a frameworkfor the study of a particular period or the history of a particular country.It may be found useful as a preparatory excursion before the reading ofthe author's much fuller and more explicit Outline of History, isundertaken. But its especial end is to meet the needs of the busy generalreader, too driven to study the maps and time charts of that Outline indetail, who wishes to refresh and repair his faded or fragmentaryconceptions of the great adventure of mankind. It is not an abstract orcondensation of that former work. Within its aim the Outline admits ofno further condensation. This is a much more generalized History,planned and written afresh.
WELLS'S two-volume Outline of History',published in 1920, was the first generalhistory constructed on an evolutionary,sociological and anthropological basis. It wasimmensely popular and set the basis for thisShort History, which Wells created to meetthe needs of the busy general reader, toodriven to study the maps and time charts ofthat Outline in detail, who wishes to refreshand repair his faded or fragmentaryconceptions of the great adventure ofmankind.

ae oa 之类的单词印刷粘在一起，印刷有问题
不过总体不错。

打远看，封面还行，等拿到手里再看，花花绿绿的廉价颜料看得人反胃。内页的颜色也十分搞笑，图片还不清楚。真不明白出版社的人都神马审美水平，还中央编译呢：-（

冲名家名作的份上，还有价格比脚低廉，打个3星吧。

这种书要少看 买了几本没认真看啊啊啊啊

书的内容自不必说，纸张什么的也很好，但是编辑和排版的水平不敢恭维。中央编译出版社好歹也是国家级大社，也是专门做外文书的，但没想到水平居然是这个样子。让人很怀念外研社和上海外教社！
