Book Reviews of World History in Documents: A Comparative Reader
Book Review: Excellent collection of primary sources
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say about a disgruntled young student who does not like history or his professor and takes that out on a really excellent book? Stearns has done a wonderful job in this volume of gathering some very good and interesting primary sources in world history. I particularly liked the documents about women's lives in various eras. The selections are thoughtful, the organization is effective, and it's not overwhelming as it's only a single volume. Very nice job, indeed, and worth considering as a supplementary reader for any world history course.
