World History

My daughter's AP Euro History teacher has used this book as a reference for some time. We bought her one, and it has helped many times.

The book arrived in mint condition however, the delivery was extremely slow. It took almost 2 weeks for the book to arrive.

This is a concise, well-written paperback (it's also orange =P) book that's easy to carry and user-friendly. Lacks the fluff and "entertaining" anecdotes; it very straightforward... Even so, this book accomplishes what it should accomplish, tells you everything that you need to learn, from the Greeks and beyond, all in outline format. It's accesible, and comprehensive. It even has quizzes at the end of each section to test yourself on. It's an entirely worthwhile buy for anyone serious about learning history.

I'm using this book for an advance placement European history class and it is great. The book covers the facts-plain and simple, from the Greeks to the present. Every sentence in this book is useful-not just boring bable as in other text books (i.e. A History of The Modern World). Great study guide for any history class-recommmended for all historians! And the best part: it's small and it's paper back.

This bok really helps a lot whether you are in an AP European History class as I am or if you are in a reglar World History Class. It takes difficult concepts and documents and greatly simplifies them making understanding tough material a breeze. It really helps doing homework or studying for a test. A great book for anyone that has a tough time with history concepts.
