Book Reviews of Worlds Together, Worlds Apart: A History of the World from the Beginnings of Humankind to the Present, Second Edition: One Volume Hardcover, Complete
Book Review: A great overview of moden history of the world
Summary: 4 Stars
A great overview of moden history of the world that does an excellent job of pulling together all the major areas of the world in a broad overview. The only problem I had with it was the inconsistent coverage of (and a few mistakes in) the history of Muscovy/Russian Empire and Kyivan Rus/Ukraine/Belarus, although it's markedly better than previous history texts in this regard. It is also a 2001/2002 edition and as such doesn't cover 9/11, the following two American wars, recent EU/NATO expansion, the Rose Revolution in Georgia, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, the major destruction of human life and cultures from natural disasters in the past couple years, etc.
