Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Let me preface this by saying that I’ve only enjoyed maybe 2 textbooks in my 3 years of college so far. Most are okay, but they’re textbooks, obligatory reading, nothing more, nothing less.This textbook though, is awful. Hands down the worst textbook I’ve ever used. Nobody in the class liked it and the teacher (using it for the first time) resolved never to use it again. It’s dense (the concise edition, so perhaps not surprising) and it is very, very dry. The worst aspect was the “themes” – the book is divided into chapters, each with a theme (such as globalization). This means that the book jumps back and forth and back again between time periods and leaves the student entirely confused. You’re in 18th Century China in Chapter 2? Well oops, in Chapter 4 it’s the 14th Century again. The fact that there are so many authors might seem like a plus (each can write about their specialization in detail!) but it isn’t. It leaves the textbook feeling disjointed.I’m a straight A student, and got an A in the class this textbook was used for, but it made me want to poke my eyes out. I recommend exploring other options or at least making sure you’ve read it and understand what you’re getting your class into before setting it as the course textbook.

⭐Wish they would have not jumped around as much. Makes the reader more prone to not realizing whats happening in region A while at the same time in another part of the world they are doing B. Seems to be a bit scattered, but its the text that’s required, so its not like I have a choice in the matter. I hope I’ll be able to learn use this more effectively before its not too late.

⭐It generally take it any more useful than that.

⭐For school

⭐Came in perfect condition and the inquisitive code!!! My class doesn’t need it but it’s good to have it anyways to help me study. Let’s pray I get an A lol. Thank you 🙂

⭐It’s better than Part 1, but it seems like this book never tells me the information I really need. I had to search other sources for simple answers.

⭐Typical college text book. Helped me pass my online class due to all the reading I needed to do for it.

⭐I’m not crazy about the condition of this book that I received. But other than that the book itself is a normal history book that is required for college!
