Like most historic works, it made me cry..
but not because it was so emotionally moving, oh no.. I spent hours upon hours hunched over this crazily-detailed textbook on 10,000 YEARS OF WORLD HISTORY solely because I made the grave mistake of taking AP World History.
In case you're wondering, I actually read ALL 33 chapters, as did all WHAP students, and it took all of my will-power to not burn this book once the final was over..as my copy belonged to the school..

To be honest my rating for this is kind of meaningless because I read it as a textbook for a class. I just wanted to document that I read it because for the first time ever I read the entire textbook.

Incredibly dense and thorough..it is CERTAINLY informative. However, it's also a very dry read, and comes complete with an incredibly dry sense of design, layout and style. Guaranteed to put any AP History student to sleep, in spite of its brilliant text content.

I had to read this for class and it is.. very dense. The best way to enjoy this book and learn from it is to NOT do all the exhaustive assignments that the book recommends. I've seen other people rate this book poorly because of the work they had to do in class and I don't blame them.
This book is more enjoyable simply being read, with the assignments being optional if the readers finds one of the chapters particularly interesting and wants to study it more.

had this book for AP World History it was an interesting subject but the book is lacking features to make it easier to read such as poor highlighting and lack of study questions.
This is a high school AP text book. Gives a good general overall view of human history.
Yes, it's my job. But I AM spending a lot of time reading this sucker when I wish I was reading other books, and I AM going to finish it this year and feel super triumphant. I want it to be a part of my 2014 reading challenge! It counts!
PS- it's a lot more enjoyable to read than the Stearns AP World History book I had to read the last two years. Mostly clear. Not terribly interesting, but it doesn't make me hate history like the other one did.

well technically, I finished this textbook in the middle of May, before taking the World History AP test.
This textbook was pretty difficult for me to get through.
Sure, a lot of interesting extra cultural/technical information. But it was hard to get through (of course) and the organization was really not the best.
However, contrary to a lot of what the other students thought, it did help me in grasping the small things of the big ideas, in the end.

This is the textbook we used for the class I was a teaching assistant for this semester--I really enjoyed this. The layout is nice, the writing is clear, and it reinforced the themes of our class well. While this isn't the edition we used (the 2010 edition isn't up on Goodreads yet)..I would recommend this textbook to anyone looking for a good overview of world history.
Required reading for premodern history course for first-year university student. Very boring, and a trod to finish.

Textbook used for my AP world history class. Read all chapters, cover to cover. Section reviews at the end of each section were life saving when I had to read one chapter a week.

I tried scanning my history book and it worked I didn't expect that
It was good for school but it was a little bias on some outlooks on what happened in history.

this was the most boring history book i've ever read. it has good information for an AP class, but it did not give enough details ; it mostly gave overviews of historical events.
Meh. What can you say about a textbook? I definitely learned a lot.
I am using the third edition as the text-book for my AP World history class.
Apr 28, 2009Ashlee Palka rated it it was ok
Uber boring! I fell asleep at least five times while reading it...In short: what I learned from this book was..WAY TOO MUCH!
My head couldn't take it. Good luck Freshmen! :P
