A fascinating and illuminating book, Sep 9 2006
By Dr. Joe - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Making of the West: Peoples and Cultures, Volume I (Paperback)
This is a fascinating history of Western civilization that goes beyond the customary emphasis on kings and battles to looking also at changes in the culture and ideas of people over the centuries. It's so enjoyable that it is bedside reading for me, though still very authoritative. The many illustrations, often of period art, add to its appeal. It will tremendously broaden your understanding of how our society came to be what it is today.

Simple and information packed., Aug 25 2008
By Elizabeth Norris - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Making of the West: Peoples and Cultures Volume I: To 1740; A Concise History (Paperback)
I very much enjoyed this book. It's written very simply, but is so information packed that I think if it were presented in any other way it would be too much to digest. I feel like I have a good idea of the time line of major civilizations, events, etc starting with the advent of cities after reading this. This is a book everyone should read, it filled in gaps in my knowledge I wasn't aware of and made me interested in researching more.

Good textbook, Sep 15 2009
By M. Robinson - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Making of the West: Peoples and Cultures, a Concise History: Volume I: To 1740 (Paperback)
This is a good textbook in that the facts are condensed and their is very little editor opinion. However being so condensed does mean that more detailed information will need to be researched for essays and exams. Overall I would recommend this to anyone wanted a good history book.
