World History
| Customer Rating: | | I actually get into this textbook. I have never had a great interest in history in general, but this has woke up the latent historian in me. Even as a text, I find it easy to read and interesting. |
FANTASTIC TEXTBOOK!
| Customer Rating: | | This book is written in a very engaging manner by a pair who clearly love history and know what they're talking about. They cover the most important material, with quite a bit of detail, but it's not overwhelming. The book is well laid out visually, making it easy to read. The source material they include is fascinating. This is the best world history textbook I've found. I would recommend it to students from high school through college, or to anyone wanting to learn history for pleasure. |
Better than other History books I've had to read
| Customer Rating: | | This book was a required selection for a class that I am taking. I had read the negative reviews here on amazon.com and was very biased about reading it. But once I did, I found out how wrong they are. I have really enjoyed this book and it is well made and beautifully put together. I would suggest making your own opinions though. History doesn't have to be "boring"; it's up to you to decide for yourself how to interpret the information. |
A student in Georgia who used this book.
| Customer Rating: | This book manages to confuse-the-heck out of the reader by its poorly executed editing and lackluster written content.Its many examples of contradicting content, the obvious failure of the many contributors in correlating their facts, along with the poor editing, contribute to its confusion and overall boredom. This text should be pulled from use and publication! Rated it two stars only because the chapter on WWII was darn good (the only part in the book that made sense, and yes, I read the whole book).
Pity the poor individual who is forced into using this extremely bad example of a history text book. Beware. |
