This review is from: Civilizations of the World: The Human Adventure : Volume B : From 1300 to 1800 (Paperback)

I had this history book the first semester of my freshman year in college and let me tell you, it is a very dry book. There is a lot of unnecessary information and all the little details make it even worse. Also, some of the information is dusty while some of the points the author points out are very arguable and seem untrue. Once again, this is a very dry book.
