Great Book!

This book was ordered for a needed history class. It was easy to read and understand. The book was also well-maintained by the seller. It was great. Thanks!!

Couldn't have asked for a better transcation. Super fast shipping. The item purchased was in excellent condition. I would purchase from this seller again.

World History

I actually get into this textbook. I have never had a great interest in history in general, but this has woke up the latent historian in me. Even as a text, I find it easy to read and interesting.

FANTASTIC TEXTBOOK!

This book is written in a very engaging manner by a pair who clearly love history and know what they're talking about. They cover the most important material, with quite a bit of detail, but it's not overwhelming. The book is well laid out visually, making it easy to read. The source material they include is fascinating. This is the best world history textbook I've found. I would recommend it to students from high school through college, or to anyone wanting to learn history for pleasure.

Not read yet...

I have to confess, I just ordered the book, mostly based on the authors. But you can't possibly go wrong with them. As professors of History at the university I attended, I had numerous classes that they each taught, and I had direct interaction with them on separate occasions (I interned with Dr. Spielvogel, and I'm still waiting for Dr. Duiker to return a book I lent to him in 1992...). They are both absolutely first-rate historians, writers and lecturers, and I'm thrilled to discover that they have collaborated on a project like this, especially considering their different aspects of history.
