A few of the Amazon reviewers went so far as to say that they wouldn't buy anything published by Usborne after seeing that book. It's got a lot of other secular things that can be dismissed because of our culture, but the nudity in this book was the last straw. Too bad, a lot of Usborne books are really cute. I'm planning on staying away from Usborne because of it! Thank you for sharing your experience.

So I have the Usborne book of World History. I wish I had seen the reviews you did. The crazy thing is that I got it off of a recommendation through Sonlight. I had looked at their lists because of their christian standards. I was disturbed at how the nudity went on and on. Some cultures had nudity, yes. But I felt that instead of just mentioning it the book went out of it's way to highlight every time nudity would be involved. Needless to say it got shelved. It was a bit frustrating because I had used the list because I can't read everything before had and I was looking for a source to trust.
