5.0 out of 5 stars Traditions & Encounters
An excellent book. It covers so many time periods. This is a book I will definitely keep even after class is over. It is so interesting to read how things and ways of life used to be.

3.0 out of 5 stars REQUIRED TEXTBOOK BUT DISORGANIZED & CONFUSING LAYOUT
This textbook is required for the HIS 103 & 104 classes at Ashford University, so a review is probably not going to matter. I found the layout of the book not only disorganized, but confusing as well, because you really have to search the chapters for the information to answer the assignments and sometimes the answers contradicted each other.

This review is from: Traditions & Encounters: A Brief Global History (Paperback)
This textbook is required for the HIS 103 & 104 classes at Ashford University, so a review is probably not going to matter. I found the layout of the book not only disorganized, but confusing as well, because you really have to search the chapters for the information to answer the assignments and sometimes the answers contradicted each other. I also felt that the information did not go into as much depth as I would have liked it to and just skimmed the details. As a student, you don't have a choice in your textbooks, but I personally wouldn't recommend this book as a useful learning tool, although it did help that the first half of the book was used for HIS 103 and the second half was used for HIS 104, keeping me from shelling out additional money for a second book.

This book was required for a class I am taking. The price was great on here, and as far as textbooks go, this is a good one. It is interesting, fast-paced and informative.

This review is from: Traditions & Encounters: A Brief Global History (Paperback)
I needed this book for a course I am taking. My voucher did not come in on time and my book arrived right on time. The price was great and the condition of the book was better than I expected. This was my first time buying a used book online and my first experience was an excellent one. Very satisfied.

This review is from: Traditions & Encounters: A Brief Global History (Paperback)
the book came when i needed it. The book was in great condition considering its a textbook. the information in the book was awesome. the seller did a good job of keeping it in good condition.The price of the book was a resonable. I plan on buying more books from the seller.

I like the fact that you can find some Textbooks cheaper than at the colleges we pick for school. It will be helpful for future purchases later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arrrrgh!, August 6, 2011
I have most of the truly world history texts. I cannot pick the better or worse,at least not yet. Also,I'm too prejudiced/compromised:I knew Jerry at the seige of Knoxville,not CSA Gen. Longstreet's siege but the c.1970 siege. I applaud all world histories as a way towards eliminating sieges through more than tolerance,but appreciation,the wisdom of love.

Where is Pinball-John Lund, Carroll, Farouk The Palestinian Refugee? Arrrrgh!?! Vicki?[& Sam?]
