DK Online: Prehistory

by Peter Chrisp

Published 1 February 2008

DK online provides complete and visually arresting reference at a new level.

Topics are presented thematically, on double-page spreads, in a clear and logical progression – ending with a comprehensive glossary and index.

Reference pages provide a clear and compelling overview of each topic.

On every page, a range of ready-reference tools deliver information at a glance: databoxes, timelines, annotated and step-by-step photography, digital images, and artworks.

Link icons lead you to online information you can’t get in a book: live and archive footage; sound buttons; interactive polls, quizzes, and games; links to organizations and the latest research. Each link icon tells you which keyword to key in – then Google™ and DK take you straight to the safe, appropriate, and authoritative online information, and ensure that all weblinks are regularly monitored and updated.
