Great book in very good condition. Definitely worth its money.
I got the book for my History class at college and I think it is a very good book. It has a great variety of different topics and gives a good insight in world history. Some of the topics, however, could be described a little more in detail, e.g. the Spartans, Spartacus, etc. All in all a book to recommend for people interested in other cultures and their history.

This was a good buy and saved me around $100.
I bought this book for my Western Civilization class. I haven't read much of this book yet, but what I have read has supplemented the lectures of my class very well.
