My ex-boyfriend stole my copy of this, and I liked it so much that I just bought another one.

If you are thinking of buying this book, you should know what you'll be getting. I learned a lot by reading this book, but I suspect that I also absorbed many errors. In MANY of the entries on topics that I already knew something about there were noticeable errors -- mostly minor, but mistakes nonetheless -- which makes me wonder how many errors I absorbed by reading the entries on topics with which I was less familiar. If you don't mind picking up some false information along the way, you may like this book. One other note: I purchased the paperback version, but the print was so small that I then purchased the Kindle edition (which allows you to adjust the font size) so that I could actually read it. So if you find reading really small font difficult, go with the Kindle edition.

I absolutely love these books, the 5 devotional books in this series. The range of information contained within is pretty diverse and each page is different than the previous or the one after, in terms of what I'd expect to see and read about. I have all 5 books now, and I'm really looking forward to reading and absorbing as much info as possible from them. The quality of these books is good, regardless of many of the negative reviews that address the subject. The pages are unevenly cut on the one side of the book, but the top and bottom of the books, the pages are cut evenly. This leads me to believe that the uneven cut of the pages on the side of the book is intentional. Reminds me of books from hundreds of years ago, the way the pages are unevenly cut. I find myself carrying one of these books around with me, for something to read when I only have time to read a page or two, to have something interesting and different to read each time. I really like these books, and I'd recommend them to anyone who has a hunger for knowledge, and/or someone who wants to read but has little time to do so because they lead a busy life. If I had to address anything about these books that would be a realistic critique without being overly critical, it'd be the size of the text. It's on the small side, but I personally have no difficulty reading it. Others may need to put on their reading glasses. Other than that, I see no reason to complain about any of the 'Intellectual Devotional' books. They're pretty great in my opinion. I definitely recommend.

I keep this book on my coffee table and when I'm bored and about to browse on my phone, I'll read one page- it does a great job summarizing a topic or subject and get me thinking. Such a simple book and idea that stimulates thoughtful learning while educating!

Remember that movie "Good Will Hunting" ? In the bar up at Harvard, Matt Damon totally destroys the arrogant undergrad in a battle of history. What a scene eh? Well, by the end of this book, you'll be on a par with the undergrad, so don't pick any intellectual arguments in bars. That's my warning.

365 insights into historical events and people who shape or add to the tapestry that is the United states. Great conversation starters or, should someone mention a historical figure you will at least be able to say "Oh yeah, the guy who wrote the National Anthem right?"

If you read one page a day, one year later you will probably have learned a few things you didn't already know. Also, these pages serve as good triggers, if your intellect is aroused, into further research.

I enjoyed reading the pages, they are concise, and highlight the element(s) of the person that has them suspended in history.

Well worth your time.

I really like this book, fun to take to kids sporting events as you don't get immersed in a whole chapter. One page at a time. Plus gives a really nice story with how each one fits together overall. I had checked this book out at the local library, and purchased it to have in my own collection.

If you want to broaden your knowledge base on all types of topics, this is it. The days are quick and easy to read and I can bet the first 30 days you will learn at least 3 new things that you didn't know. My mom gave me this in the hardback form but I also purchased the kindle format so I could change the font size. I have given numerous copies as gifts to my nerdy friends and they all have loved it.
I'm giving this book 5 stars for delivering on its premise. Basically, you get the topical benefits of an expansive, liberal arts education in easily digestible bits. As a springboard into further study, I think it is excellent. As a reference into the topics covered, think of it as Cliff Notes for an encyclopedia.

Although organized into daily readings, the material is so interesting that there is a strong temptation to read ahead, which is what I did. The selections are well written and entertaining, although I did find the entries on Music somewhat difficult to follow, since reading about musical concepts seems to be a poor substitute for listening to them.

My favorite topics were in History, Science and Philosophy. I'd also like to point out that the publishers did a great job in designing the physical aspects of the book. Given the fact that it is to intended to be read over the course of the year, you would expect the cover to be durable and stain resistant, which it is. The book also has a book mark ribbon, to help avoid the prospect of losing your place. If you're looking for comprehensive information on the subjects covered, you will be disappointed, but if your expectations are in line with the intent of the authors, you will be very pleased.
