World Civilizations: The Global Experience, Combined Volume (7th Edition)

I give it 4 stars because it tortured me for my summer semester. About 4 chapters a week for 5 weeks broke me. I know the info was interesting but I have nightmares about this book. Its got history folks and lots of it. If you have a normal paced class this book is solid but for the love of god if this book is assigned for a brief class RUN AWAY. Overall though I could imagine in a regular semester class that the "I wanna learn" part of my brain would say nice textbook very informative, however my summer student side is still in a corner hugging my adventure time plush sucking my thumb. Enjoy.

Excellent core text or supplemental reference for students using another, more boring world history text. Stearns' writing is known to be more story-like, thematic, and explanatory than most standard survey textbooks.

Needed the AP edition

40 chapters. Not enough time in the school year for an AP World history class to finish this book. More of a difficult read.

Great for class

Great history book has some spelling errors thoughs

Great! Reading it now.
