It is a book file; yes; but that doesn't make it an ebook. Imagine taking pictures of a textbook; and then zooming each page; moving it around to read all the text; turning the page to see all of an informative two-page spread with images; and moving THAT around...Even my desktop monitor (22 inches) was not big enough to display entire pages.I bought this in ebook form so I could read it on my phone; but eyestrain and frustration made me give up. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND unless you plan to only read it on a large screen!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Detailed; but...By KYDoes give a detailed account and transitions nicely; but my only c​aveat would be that there are biases. I don't mean biased by the fact that history is written by the victors-- something the textbook does point out; but bias as in that is not all to the story. Only a single perspective is told-- from a certain religious analysis and I don't think that's an objective representation when in all other cases; both perspectives are told.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
