World History 1 & 2

This book is an excellent resource for any student in college taking World History 1 & 2 in their Freshman yr. I passed World History 2 with an A in college because of this textbook!

Great Text

This book has an excellent multi-learning style approach throughout it. There are supeb graphs, charts, information boxes, and other learning tools used in the text. The target audience seems to be high school students, but if you have never studied world history before, or if your familiarity with world history is not thorough and/or recently reviewed this would be a great place to start. The text also approaches world history from the vantage point of manifold disciplines, which serves to both eliminate and complement the often-found drudgery which has been concomitant with this subject matter in past generations. I am studying this text along with my daughter; she is taking world history as an independent study in order to test out of it this fall and clear her schedule for other classes she would like to fit into her schedule this year. She will be a high school sophmore.
