4 out of 5 stars Depends On Your Teacher...   November 25, 2004
1 out of 3 found this review helpful

By the way, I'm just a freshman... The book is good for history review... Just try not to squeeze everything in your head when studying. Personally, it wasn't as helpful for me [on tests] but I still managed to learn a lot of history from it. The questions at the end of the chapter, especially the identify and define, are pretty annoying.


5 out of 5 stars another great history books   February 8, 2003

aren't history books fascinating to read?
especially one that presents its information as clearly as this. The book isn't organized by exact time; it's organized by periods of time : i.e. renaissance, reformation, absolutism, etc. This is one of those books where you don't need a teacher to learn stuff. In my history class, we more or less were forced to go through it with a fine comb, or fail all tests. Though the teacher was kind of pushing the line between honors class and pure torture, those who did read it well got A's.

this book offers a great 'perspective on the past' but i have been unable to find a site on the internet that deals specifically with material in this text book.


5 out of 5 stars Overall view in World History   April 10, 2002
Angela Miranda (Parkland, Florida USA)
I found this book to give me exactly what I needed, a general overview of World History. It was very easy reading and it kept me glued to the pages. I wanted to read more and more. I do, however, agree if you want more in depth material you will need to go to another history book.

Reading this book is like watching TV. Well, if only you know how TV screws up your mind.
