great way to know the early 16th to 17th history

great way to know the early 16th to 17th history; and a nice book that talks about Haiti!

Good introduction to early civilization towards the 1500s

Overall, this book is a good introduction to the the beginnings of civilization towards the 1500s. It goes into good detail towards the events and the people who shaped the eras and majaor civilizations covered during this time period. Also, the book is an easy and fairly entertaining read.

Incredible Book On World History

I am a high school student, and I use this book in my Gifted AP World History class. Now, normally, I am not exactly a fan of social studies courses, but this world history course, and hence, this book, are quite fascinating. I won't get on the topic of the hours of work assigned from outlining and doing all sorts of tasks for supposed maximum retention and comprehension, which are, unsurprisingly, less than fascinating. Despite these hours, the book itself and the content in it is a very authoritative and accurate view of world history. It hits all of the major points and does a very god job of presenting the material.
