quick and easy transaction

the item came in a timely manner and was what i expected. the only thing that i didn't know was that there was highlighting in it.

Fine and concise history of California

I used this as a text book in a history of California class several years ago. It was an interesting read and I did not notice any obvious mistakes or ommissions. He covers California history very well and includes the history of the original peoples, women and a variety of minority groups. It is a social and a political history of California.

Easy read introduction

I felt compelled to write a quick review of this book in response to the harsh ratings it has been given. Any history is going to miss out some things that some people find extremely important. At least this book acknowledges as much - even in the title!I found this book a surprisingly easy read. I work in the cultural resource industry, writing reports etc., and I have found it extremely useful as a general text on California history. I have also seen it widely used in reports authored by other professionals. I have yet to come across a better book for a comprehensive introduction to California history.

History can be fun!

Finding background for teaching 4th grade California history rewarded me with this wonderfully readable book. It's pithy, entertaining, well-written and populated by real humans. I am eager to share passages with my class, so they can learn at a much younger age than I did how vital and interesting history can be.
