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.

The book's timeline is very useful. This is a very helpful reference book in studying History especially for me majoring it... and also the reason why I'm reading this XD. A little eurocentric but still reliable.
