I am a college instructor using this book in a ten-week history of the world course. I have never had such a positive experience with a book. Students are absorbed in the author's perspectives, in the little details, and in the sweeping historical patterns. Fernandez-Armesto focuses on human interactions with the natural world as the defining element in the evolution of civilizations, and his writing is both erudite and original.
Nice Textbook

I had to get this for a college history class. The few times I read it, it was pretty readable and didn't bore me to death like many other reading material. Overall, it's okay
