Customer Reviews

Western Heritage

I got my book promptly and in great condition. I was very satisfied with my purchase.

Good survey of early western history

This textbook was required for my History 10a class at Harvard (Steven Ozment is the professor for the course). In addition to the scholarly explanations and descriptions of early European history, the book comes with a CD with plenty of primary source documents. If that is not enough, there also many excerpts of primary sources scattered throughout each chapter.

The book looked brand new. It arrived in about a week. I would recommend to anyone!

A well balanced study guide with heterogenous perspectives

This is a well balanced study guide with a variety of questions and answers. There are no tips or model answers for the considerations of specific documents, it would help to also have an orientation. Just as there are answers to multiple choice, true false, and completion it would help to have answers on further consideration of the documents section. The Map exercises should also have there answers in order to benefit from such exercises especially when your working with distances between cities, locations. Take the case of Chapter 14, how long would it take to reach the Moon on a mountain bike, with a car, on a jet, or a cruise ship, it all depends on the speed that you may assign to the vehicle. This is like playing TRIVIA, pag. 143. Suggestions for further consideration should have a model answer unless you require just an opinion.
