Customer Reviews

Excellent book for reviewing a wide range of subjects

This is a excellent and concise summary of a wide spectrum of subjects that probably goes far beyond what is taught in many high school classrooms today. In all probability, after reading this book one would have a far better understanding of the areas presented than what most students obtain from a "liberal arts" education at a junior college. It is well structured with a logical format to both the information presented and how best to attack each area. Although ambitious in the spectrum of areas covered, especially considering the book's moderate size, I felt it gave a very good, reasonably detailed review of each one. I used it as the springboard for a more in-depth study of those areas I found particularly interesting. As an example, the section on ancient, medieval and modern history was quite good as an overview but, being a history buff, I used "History of the World" by J.M. Roberts for a more detailed reading of some of these areas. My only critisism, if it could be called that, is with the name. This could easily have been named "An overview of basic and essential knowledge" (or "what should be taught in high school and post graduate school but many times isn't").

One of the best reference books any college student can buy.

A must if you are going back to school ( college, or high school)
