Customer Reviews

Good Deal

Cheap Price; book was in good shape; included the cd (w/ no scratches). I am happy.

not "new"

The book was in great condition when I got it, but came in awful packaging from some military school and has some writing in pencil in it. Still, the cd was unopened, and it's practically new. just not quite as promised.

excellent

bought for school & came the first day of school. the next time, in order to avoid the heart attack & anxiety I had, I will specify shipping preference.

Fabulous

I am a college instructor using this book in a ten-week history of the world course. I have never had such a positive experience with a book. Students are absorbed in the author's perspectives, in the little details, and in the sweeping historical patterns. Fernandez-Armesto focuses on human interactions with the natural world as the defining element in the evolution of civilizations, and his writing is both erudite and original.

Nice Textbook

I had to get this for a college history class. The few times I read it, it was pretty readable and didn't bore me to death like many other reading material. Overall, it's okay
