What can I say? It's a textbook. It's dense and full of material. Did I learn from it? Yes, actually, which I suppose means that it did its job. Good job!

Really interesting and easy to read textbook. Provides a lot of information about world cultures as well as geographic formations, etc.

This is a pretty good textbook but it needs a ton of updating. For example, Osama Bin Laden was killed over five years ago and in this book it talks about trying to find him.
