1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Well WrittenBy KellinajewelIt's well written; however; the author has a tendency to stray from uniformity in that he'll lull the reader into thinking they can trust that he'll add the reign dates directly out beside each king; emperor; monarch; empress; etc.; but just when you have your pen and highlighter at the ready to mark those points (or write them in note as is the case for me); he switches and leaves the reigning dates off for pages and then reintroduces that leader with that information. As a textbook goes; that's counter-productive for the student; I have to write the information down but find my way back to that area of my notes to THEN include the information which should have been there when he first mentions that particular leader. He does a relatively good job of explaining things such as the french revolution; the scientific revolution; agricultural revolution; etc.; It's a good textbook but heavy and large and hard to wield with other books and notebooks.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A horrible textbook. It jumps around in the timeline way ...By CustomerA horrible textbook. It jumps around in the timeline way too much; so hard to keep track and follow the historic timeline. If a teacher chooses this book for their class; don't take it!! You will be lost and confused the entire time!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
