Book Reviews of World Civilizations
Book Review: Great for a general reference of history and geography.
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked this up at a library used book sale of donated items. I paid zero for it as it was used and not many people want these large textbooks around the house.
But after paging through the book it really is very nicely arranged with chapters very logically presented with enough, but not an overwhelming amount of of text to slog through until the next heading appears. I find it very appealing visually with a great balance of maps (nice ones), photos and side panels. This is a book I would have considered keeping after using it in a class.
Sometimes its just nice to reach for a book to read about some battle or treaty or geographic region without using the internet to learn something.
In my case, it will be used for filling in historical periods which I might be curious about. It would be worth a few dollars but I can't say more than $20 for a reference work.
