ویرایش آخرش رو بخونید.
نویسنده هر چند سال یک بار کتاب رو ویرایش میکنه ولی تو ایران همون ویراست قدیمی هی تجدید چاپ شده.
فکر کنم آخریش مال پنج-شش سال پیشه.
با این حال، اگر به تاریخ اروپا علاقه دارید این کتاب هنوز هم بهترین وکامل ترین منبعیه که میشه در ایران پیدا کرد.

I thoroughly enjoyed studying this textbook. It seemed very fair and balanced in its presentation and is written in an easy to understand style. Covering this much information in a single semester made it difficult to spend much time in any single time or place. But that isn't the fault of the book, just the nature of a college class.

This is actually the textbook for EU2223 Ages of the Mediterranean. It gave a clear view on the history and ideas. A really good read with sufficient examples and messages. Part of the reason I fall in love with this side of history is because of this book.

Yay, done with the semester. Don't expect me to remember everything, though, because I struggled a bunch xD

Okay book. It's difficult to pack thousands of years of history into a book a few hundred pages long.
