Rented this through kindle for my iPad to save money but there were no page numbers. If you have ever taken a class before you understand how important page numbers are when your professor says read page 375!!!!! I do not recommend the kindle version.

This book was required for my Intro to World History class. My advice to teachers: please please please don't choose this book. Yes, it contains a lot of good information, but also too much information for a simple survey course on history in addition to being incredibly verbose & repetitive. I recommend A History of World Societies, Volume 2: Since 1500 as a much much better alternative to this mind-numbing text.

Great textbook! I would have loved a little more detail, but the book was great when it came to helping me with my online course

The book is great...I'm using it in a college course and I like the layout and style.

However, I paid for a NEW copy of the book, and Amazon sent me one that was not new (writing and shelf wear inside). They did refund a portion of the price I paid, but still, I would have liked to have resell this when I'm done but what I get for it will be less due to the prior usage. Not cool.

Book in good condition as described but it took forever for the item to arrive. I waited 3 weeks for the book and it took me a while to catch up with my assignments at school.
