The book came in great condition and it came very quickly. It was listed as a 2006 book, but was from 1997.

This review is from: World History: Perspective on the Past (Hardcover)

aren't history books fascinating to read?
especially one that presents its information as clearly as this. The book isn't organized by exact time; it's organized by periods of time : i.e. renaissance, reformation, absolutism, etc. This is one of those books where you don't need a teacher to learn stuff. In my history class, we more or less were forced to go through it with a fine comb, or fail all tests. Though the teacher was kind of pushing the line between honors class and pure torture, those who did read it well got A's.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: World History: Perspective on the Past (Hardcover)

By the way, I'm just a freshman... The book is good for history review... Just try not to squeeze everything in your head when studying. Personally, it wasn't as helpful for me [on tests] but I still managed to learn a lot of history from it. The questions at the end of the chapter, especially the identify and define, are pretty annoying.
