Such great writing.By CyrusI got this and the other western society book by McKay from a thrift store for a few dollars and have been mesmerized by both. The authors make history a fun topic and easy to understand. I find these books even better written that the highly revered book by Spielvogel.I assume the target audience for these books are high school and early college students; so the topics are treated too concisely but just enough to give one a good flavor so if needed; one can look up more sources online.13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. An excellent resources for teachers and studentsBy lisa navarreAs a high school history teacher; I have found this book to be an excellent resource for lecture notes. It includes specific and detailed information to illustrate significant historical periods and events that I have not found anywhere else. For example; the section on the Renaissance contains facinating detail on the role of women and Africans in Europe at that time. I have also loaned this book to students because the authors clearly outline the "so what" of historical events.
