1200 Update Ways of the World with Sources for the AP® Modern Course

by Robert W. Strayer, Eric W. Nelson

If you plan to begin your course at 1200 C.E., we have a Ways of the World for you! This brand new brief edition combines the thorough examination of significant historical trends, themes, and developments that Strayer/Nelson in known for, but opens with an entirely new “Part One” written specifically for this new course. By first setting the stage of world history at 1200 C.E., Strayer and Nelson provide a thoughtful and insightful commentary that helps students see the big picture of the 1200 start date and models historical thinking and writing throughout. Like the complete fourth edition, this briefer volume is even more focused on the needs of AP® students, with AP® Skills Workshops, DBQ-aligned Working with Evidence features, and more opportunities for students to hone their AP® skills and practice for the exam. Whether you move to a 1200 start date or continue to teach the full course, we have the market-leading book for you!

I cried too much over this book. It broke me in ways I didnt think possible. wtf Strayer.
3 stars as it's the only way I survived that class. not the worst pillow and very tear absorbent

AP Modern World History has finished!

I stayed up late to read this, poured hours of studying and looking over this. Though this book will forever be connected to bad memories, I truly did enjoy reading this book. History has always been really interesting to me, and I loved jumping around the world learning about people's different histories and cultures.

My teacher did point out that this book is written by two white males, so the "world" history part and views may be a little skewed. I do know that they got some of the facts wrong when going over my culture.

I get history is important and all but

I'd rather have not had to read that and take notes and have an AP exam on it's contents

Like don't get me wrong that writing's fine but like I also deeply resent this textbook just because of how much time of my life it took away

So

Yeah that's my review lol

why does this author write in such a convoluted way? bro will start writing about an event at the beginning of the chapter and not say anything about its significance until the end of the chapter, how i am supposed to take notes 😭😭

Goodbye AP world 😁

[Romilda Nott (a.k.a. incognito Aru Shah)]

Parts of this book were helpful, but it took WAY TOO MUCH brainpower to read. I'm never doing that again. Finally done after 2 years of AP World History!!!

[Deylin Vilchiz · Rating 1 out of 5]

I hate this with a passion (it was for school).

[Ollie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a good textbook. Did I like reading it? No. Was I forced to read it? Yes. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t good.

[Gabbie Fruehauf · Rating 1 out of 5]
