As a school administrator at a large public high school in Hawai'i I wanted to introduce AP World History as a course offering for our students. Having been an AP teacher myself, I eagerly read the listserv postings regarding texts. In consultation with the teacher I got to offer the class, we decided on this text as most meeting the needs of our students. A big plus is that Dr. Bentley is very approachable and enthusiastic when contacted for information. I feel so strongly about this course that I convinced my son to take it next year as a sophomore. There are a number of excellent texts for APWH, but you really can't go wrong with Traditions and Encounters.

Never recieved this book that I really needed for my sons AP class for him to study!!! I did recieve a refund but what I really needed was the book!!!

We are pleased with the condition of the textbook. It was described accurately in the listing. We are also pleased with the response to our questions by the seller.

The book I ordered was in excellent condition. I received it in a timely matter and would definately use your service again.

This book is excellent if you want to pass the AP World History Exam. The book has 40 chapters thoroughly explaining every essential part of world history. The language is simple and easy to follow. The online learning center that goes along with this book has great quizzes, chapter outlines, and activities to sharpen up on the most essential parts of the chapters. With good writing and analysis skills, reading this book from cover to cover (which I actually found enjoying), and having an outstanding teacher (Thank You Mr. Wilson!) you can get a 5 on the exam. You don't even need those booklets that help you get prepared for the exam. I took the 2006 APWH exam and received a 5.

The book was rated in average condition, and average/poor was more like it. The front pages were all stuck together and there are many chips/gouges in the spine. The worst part is, this book was advertised as having PowerWeb with it. Unfortunately, the front page of the book containing the PowerWeb password was ripped out, and so I cannot use the website for my class. It was a cheaper buy than from the campus bookstore, but not sure if it was worth it.
