We have used this textbook in our 9th Grade Global Studies course with good results. Within each unit it provides an overview of geography, ancient heritage, independence movements, and modern developments for the regions of Africa, all parts of Asia, Latin America, Europe & the Former Soviet Union, and The Middle East. Each chapter is divided into sections - each with preview & review questions, vocabulary, etc. We do supplement this text with enrichment readings, but we have found it to provide a solid foundation for the year-long course.
