This is a really good and comprehensive textbook to introduce people, particularly young adults, to world history and anthropology. It is engaging and covers a spectrum of facts and ideologies spread across civilisations throughout.

This book single-handedly ignited my love for world history when I was in high school and it carried me through my college years when I took up my International Studies degree.
