About 4 chapters a week for 5 weeks broke me. I know the info was interesting but I have nightmares about this book. Its got history folks and lots of it. If you have a normal paced class this book is solid but for the love of god if this book is assigned for a brief class RUN AWAY. Overall though I could imagine in a regular semester class that the "I wanna learn" part of my brain would say nice textbook very informative; however my summer student side is still in a corner hugging my adventure time plush sucking my thumb. Enjoy.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Stearns' top notch books for APBy EMDThis is not the newest edition; but it certainly suffices for anyone who may need to save a little money and wants to work toward the AP World History exam. I have been teaching with the Strayer textbook for three years. It is also excellent; but it was not an AP version per se.Although the school where I teach has adopted an e-text (and required all students to buy the 7th edition for I-Pad; in my mind Ill probably always lean toward a printed textbook. This book + a newer edition of it will be my main planning and organizing tools for the ninth grade students I teach; even for those who won't necessarily go on the AP level and take the exam.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. book is very hard to followBy Elizabeth B.the sections are not ordered in a good way: they move from one subject to another; and then back again; without any good transitions whatsoever. the author also seems to think that we already know a lot about what we're reading; so he doesn't explain it as much as i would have liked. if you're getting this for school; good luck.
