Good information but lacks an index
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book was assigned for my history class. Rodgers created a good selection of historical writings, giving a broad view of what people thought. There is also plenty of background material on the times the various articles were written. As well as quotations, questions, and time-lines. The book is ordered chronologically then sub-ordered by theme. However, this book lacks an index. The book does provide a table of contents. An alphabetical or thematic index could make this book more useful for research.
great buy!

A helpful primary source textbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
In my AP European History class, I not only used this book, but had the author as my teacher. Overall, I found the book to be generally enjoyable and easy to read; I even brought it with me to college, heavily highlighted and full of notes, and have actually used it as reference for several class projects (and I attend an engineering school). While some sections of it I consider to be dryer than others, I believe that had more to do with my lack of interest in particular topics than it did the material itself. The chapter introductions and timelines put the material in a good historical context, and the study questions are good food for thought (and helpful for preparing for the AP exam -- in my experience, standardised test questions are seldom worse than anything Perry Rogers can think up). I think it was a great textbook that I would definitely recommend.
