A Short History of the World
Praise for History of the World:"[A] landmark book."--The Christian Science Monitor"Epic, yet readable."--Philadelphia Inquirer"Roberts provides a scholarly examination representing a one-volume survey of the major events of the past."--The Bookwatch"Roberts is wise as well as witty....Anyone who wants an outline grasp of history, the core of all subjects, can grasp it here."--The Economist"This would be a good text for a semester world history survey."--William Bakken, Rochester Community and Technical College"This is a very scholarly text, yet it is written in a style which will allow access to a wide range of students. Although it embodies a vast amount of information, it is not merely factual. Rather, material is presented in a challenging manner."--Philip Evans, Flagler College, FL"This is an excellent abridgment which should render this text more appropriate for general history courses."--Dan O'Bugan, Sierra Nevada College"A book that inspires more thought than the conventional college text."--Charles Davis, MS Gulf Coast Community College
