I think the best review I can give this book, which I am using the first time this year, is from my own students. They are not having difficulty with the layout nor the text, and it is thoroughly up to date. I am estimating a good five-year life for this book before it will have to be replaced with another, more recent edition. It is expensive, but worth the money. Excellent book for the ninth or tenth year student at the "regular" to "honors" level track in world history. It is NOT suitable, however, for AP instruction without rigorous supplementation from an advanced course reader, and I cannot recommend it for advanced study in the genre, as it is not constructed with that purpose in mind. Binding is also very sturdy and well put-together, but I would look through for a publisher error of some pages being bound in to the covers inverted. Holt will replace those. The teacher's edition is also literally "chock full" of a variety of exercise suggestions, and I am sure that something could be find to please almost any classroom. Recommend. I am very pleased with Holt's "Human Legacy."
