This was a pretty good textbook, though I wish there had been more explanation on some of the events since it seemed like in some of the sections the textbook wanted you to already have a basic knowledge of the events when sadly I did not. Nevertheless, I did like this textbook and was sad to part with it at the end of the semester.
