Heritage of World Civilizations, Teaching and Learning Classroom Edition, The, Vol 2

The book was delivered in a timely manner, however i did not appreciate the huge advertisement stickers placed on the front cover, as well as the inside, of the book.

was in good condition as the seller claimed. was packaged well . very satisfied

This book is written by five authors, and contains a wealth of information in an easy-to-read format. The chapter summaries are succinct and the index are glossary are complete and useful. I haven't had any occasion to fire up the disc that comes with it--the disc is a nice option, but you'll be absolutely fine without one (unless your class happens to require it). One of the best textbooks I've had occasion to own.

Books are college-level, extensive. Though, while they are extensive, they are an easy read and offer simplistic historical representation.

I abhorred History when I was at school. When I've matured and grown more realist I've started to consider the importance of history to try understand what happens around me. I started with The Penguin History of the World" by J.M. Roberts; I don't recommend that book for beginners though it's a good book (I actually hadn't courage enough to finish it, it exists in audiobook too). This book is written by five american scholars which I think gives it a more general scope than others written by a single author. It includes a CD-ROM with the whole book plus a multimedia summary of human history read by a beautiful voice, photographs, Questionnaires, Quizzes, maps and the Complete Webster's New World Dictionary. There's an exclusive webpage for the book with quizzes, add-on reports and links to other history websites, there you can have your questions answered and your exercises corrected (I haven't used it yet though). Sincerely I didn't expect this book to be so good. The CD-ROM is the same for each of the separate books or for the complete version, so, buying the first or second part alone you have the full CD-ROM encompassing all world history.
