Easy to readBy shaebuhbayEasy to read; the chapters are a little long because of how much text fits on a single page; but overall it's a good resource in a Judaic Studies class; and saved me a lot of money.0 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy julie grantThis is a very informative book. Very thorough14 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Attractive but expensiveBy Robert ShapiroUPDATED REVIEW: The second edition of this book is now available at lower prices in various formats; making it more accessible. In August 2015; one can rent a copy of the book for as little as about $22 for one semester; which is probably sufficient for many students. I have changed my evaluation of the book to 4 stars and I have decided to assign the book as one of the required books in my course on Jewish Diaspora. It is a comprehensive; colorful book; with many attractive features; although one would prefer that the price for a print copy or a an e-book copy would be lower and more affordable.Original Review from Dec. 2013:I was sent an advance copy of the book; which is quite attractively designed; with up to date coverage of major trends of Jewish history since the Biblical period to the present. I am considering using it as a text for an introductory college course on the Jewish Diaspora; but I am troubled by the relatively expensive prices listed for the book; both in paperback ($72.) and in Kindle format ($50.). A Kindle book for $50 is an imposition on students who qualify for Pell Grants and other need based financial aid even at a relatively inexpensive public university. The book I currently use is Raymond Scheindlin's aptly named A Short History of the Jewish People; available in paperback for less than $15 with Prime free shipping; and for less than $10 for used copies including shipping. The second edition of The Jews: A History is definitely more colorful; with more content; color maps; and many photographs; but it is prohibitively costly; reminiscent of some of the social studies textbooks marketed for use in high schools. If the price for The Jews: A History were more reasonable; I would have no compunction about requiring my students to buy it as a basic textbook on the Jewish experience. As an update; I notice that the first edition (2008) of this book is available for RENTAL FOR $28.50; with Fulfillment.
