Great textbook!By Briana AuclairWhile I have yet to find a history textbook that isn't a dry read; the information in this book is clear; complete and well written. There are great visuals; graphs and maps that lend to the text. I probably wouldn't have purchased this as a personal reading choice; however I do understand why my history professor chose this book. Also; I love how compact it is in comparison to a normal hardcover textbook. I received this copy used and cannot even tell it had been used; it is in perfect condition. It has held up well in being carried around for 2 months continuously.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. KindleBy CustomerThis doesn't deserve any stars. I ordered the kindle version and the content stops after page 26. Where is the rest of the book. Waste of money. May take longer and cost more; but might as well ordered the physical book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. it doesn't give a history of just boring battles between kingsBy FuzychiapetI really learned a lot; it doesn't give a history of just boring battles between kings; but common people; culture; art; writings.
