The Human Odyssey, Volume 2: Our Modern World, 1400 to 1914

by John T.E. Cribb, Mary Beth Klee (Editor), John Holdren (Editor)

K¹²'s The Human Odyssey series puts the story back in history with a gripping narrative of adventure, struggle, and triumph, helping us understand where we have been, where we are now, and where we might be headed. The odyssey continues in 1400 with the rediscovery of classical Greece and Rome during the Renaissance, and moves through major developments in Islamic and Asian cultures into the great Age of Exploration. The final half of the volume surveys the democratic and industrial revolutions that would see the birth of new nations and new ways of life, leading to the brink of World War I. Full-color images, diagrams, maps, and charts throughout. An appendix of geographic terms and concepts augments an atlas, glossary, pronunciation guide, and index.

I am in K12 and I just wanted an audio book version of this while I wrote down notes, not helpful I can't read it unless I buy it off of Amazon or another store. I just want an audio book of this.

I read this for school, not particularly an era of history I enjoy learning about. As is this book left out a few major events and is seriously biased in who’s side of the story they tell.
