Aside from attending school again after a few years off; I was happy with this book. It came promptly and was in brand new condition. I'm halfway through my semester and it has served me very well thus far.Pros: Brand new condition and shipped promptlyCons: It won't read itself or do my homework; let alone take my tests for me.Bottom line: If you're in need of a book by this publisher; this was a reliable source for me to get it from. Of course; because I didn't order the book till the last minute; I didn't shop around to see if there was a better price.It came with 2 day shipping with my trial Student Membership - Just remember to cancel before the trial ends if you're not going to keep it. Otherwise you'll be charged for it.

Not bad; not greatBy CustomerIt's a history text book; it compresses roughly 170 years into less than 1000 pages; so things naturally get glossed over or only vaguely mentioned. My main complaint is in the way it breaks things up; it will take a 25 year time period and attempt to break it up into subsections such as; politics; business; conflict; etc. Anyone with even a vague understanding of history knows that all of those topics are intrinsically intertwined and impossible to break apart without making things a bit disjointed and fractured. It is what it is.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

I still don't see the point of mandatory textbooks.
