This is an amazing text on the culture and geography of the world! There is an introductory unit, Africa unit (which I am on), South Asia, Southeast Asia; Australia; and Oceania, and many others. It really helps you understand it clearly. It is a great text to refer to if you have any questions about culture and geography. In each unit there is a section on the geography and early histry, a seciton on the heritage, and a section about the place in transitition, and it in the world today, if I remember correctly. Wow!

This book is to put it plainly, horrible. It lightly brushes over topics with out going even slightly deeper in to them, and seems to be a collection of texts from old history/geography text books. You don't learn much about culture here.

What's worse is the teacher resource kits and the worksheets/tests provided. They don't get students to "think", and instead seem to emphasize on memorizing information.

Definately NOT recommended, especially not for high school.

We received the necessary book for my daughter to complete the course she was taking on-line. It was received with-in 5 days of ordering. Thank you very much!

I am currently a junior in an advanced placement history class, and my freshman year this book was my text for a supposedly accelerated class. The book is incomprehensive and the analysis of important historical concepts is poor. The book spends a paragraph on covering communism. The entire textbook only has one paragraph on communism! It is a wonderful text for middle school students; however, it does not belong in my high school, or any other for that matter.

I am currently a freshman in high school and i am required to take world geography. this is the book we are using in that class and i hate it! the book is written in a dull and boring manner and the chapter reviews are long and horrible. they just have us memorize the information and do not teach us anything. find another book cuz this one is AWFUL!!

The book was sent quickly and it came in the condition that was stated. Thank you.
