NOTE: Before purchasing, check with your instructor to ensure you select the correct ISBN . Several versions of Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products exist for each title, and registrations are not... This description may be from another edition of this product.
If you are on a budget as most student's are, considering buying this edition instead of the newest one. Great text. Gets the job done and just as informative.
Extensive

Books are college-level, extensive. Though, while they are extensive, they are an easy read and offer simplistic historical representation.

The perfet good to aquire a good general overview of History
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I abhorred History when I was at school. When I've matured and grown more realist I've started to consider the importance of history to try understand what happens around me. I started with The Penguin History of the World" by J.M. Roberts; I don't recommend that book for beginners though it's a good book (I actually hadn't courage enough to finish it, it exists in audiobook too). This book is written by five american scholars which I think gives it a more general scope than others written by a single author. It includes a CD-ROM with the whole book plus a multimedia summary of human history read by a beautiful voice, photographs, Questionnaires, Quizzes, maps and the Complete Webster's New World Dictionary. There's an exclusive webpage for the book with quizzes, add-on reports and links to other history websites, there you can have your questions answered and your exercises corrected (I haven't used it yet though). Sincerely I didn't expect this book to be so good. The CD-ROM is the same for each of the separate books or for the complete version, so, buying the first or second part alone you have the full CD-ROM encompassing all world history.
