Hi umm we are on the first chapter in the book World History Modern Times, from Glencoe, and i am having a really hard time studying becuase there is so much stuff i need to know that i am afraid if i try narrowing down that i might not get everything i need to know, and it will be on the test. Thanks so much for your time i am very stressed out as u can tell cuz i want to do well, thanks again!

What is the best World History book to read for pleasure and education? (Not biased please)?

Like many people, I wasn’t really that interested in World History when I learned it the first time. I learned it because i HAD to. Now, I want to re-learn it because I want to.

Are there any suggestions for World History books that will not only educate…but maybe be a bit “pleasurable.” I’m not looking for anything really opinionated either.

Thanks in advance.
