Our school adopted this text, hoping it would give greater context to history reading, but the context provided is sometimes so random and the core information so hard to access that I am very sorry we are using it. History texts for high school students should have attention-grabbing context but very organized essential content. This is a big disappointment.

its good to buy older editions. Really year to year nothing much changes just the cover and maybe an end of the chapter quiz.. unless you're studies are in a field that constantly changes buy older. This book was 100 dollars minimum for everybody else i bought it for 12 bucks.

Product was received quickly and in great condition, better that expected at a good price.

i'm not a history major, but this book seemed like it had lots of good stuff in it

This is by far not the best World history book out there, but as a text attempts to cover other parts of the world better than many. Still heavily slanted toward the western world, and still refuses to give the Great Muslim Empire the credit it's due, still relatively readable.

This book was purchased for use with History 100 and History 101 at Miramar College, part of the San Diego City College system. The instructor for these two sections is Mr. Garrett Booker. If you intend to take both classes which together encompass roughly 10,000 B.C. up to modern society, this is the book to buy rather than two seperate books that will cost more.
