Synopsis
"I had to read this as a summer reading assignment for my AP World History Class. At first I expected it to be as dry and laborious as any other history textbook, but surprisingly it was not. The book was easy to read and presented information in an interesting way. In 100 pages, I definitely got a great basis in World history. Obviously the book doesn't really go in-depth into any one topic and is instead a broad overview. You won't learn about Caesar or Qin Shi Huang, but you will get an understanding of how humans developed both physically and socially to what we are today." [Amazon]
