Winner of the first John Newberry Medal, Hendrik Willem van Loon's The Story of Mankind, originally written for the author's grandchildren, has charmed generations with its warmth and wisdom. Beginning with the origins of human life and sweeping forward to illuminate all of history, van Loon's incomparable prose and illustrations presented a lively rendering of the people and events that have shaped world history. This new edition, updated by best-selling historian Robert Sullivan, continues van Loon's personable style and incorporates the most important developments of the early twenty-first century, including the war on terrorism, global warming, and the explosion of social media. The result remains extremely "valid in broad outline if not detail and, as ever, a grand and thought-provoking read" (Kirkus Reviews).

Great but poorly packaged.
Size: Large, Color: Brown
Love the coat. Just what I was hoping for good fit. Color was right. The packaging on the other hand was terrible. I hope the wrinkles come out with steam.

A Coat That Doubles as a Physics Experiment
The coat looks fine, but trying it on felt like stepping into a physics experiment. The 100% polyester fabric generated so much static electricity that I honestly felt like a walking electrical generator. If you enjoy shocking yourself and everything around you, this is the coat for you. Otherwise… be prepared.

Weird pockets
Size: Medium, Color: Brown
It was a nice coat but the fabric was shimmery and the front pockets were very high. It was very awkward looking. Overall it was nice fabric and a good length but the pockets and the shimmer made it a return for us.
