The textbook was a very interesting and colorfully descriptive history text

I read approximately 350-400 pages in the text A register of Western Society, 8th Ed. I didnt read in a continuous style instead flipping through the book stopping at something interesting version then reading several pages of that chapter, moving on to others gaining knowledge of several chapters of the book rather than focusing on one.It is a historical text on western civilization from Mesopotamia to the present, with focus on social history with chapters on Greece, Rome, religious wars, political revolutions, evolutions in pushing and industry, magnification, urbanism, nationalism, dictatorship and the Second World War, even the Cold War. I survey of it as a sociological perspective on history.The textbook was a real interesting and colorfully descriptive history text. I liked that the base of politics and culture were balanced giving the lecturer a hazard to see it from a broader perspective. It balanced the socio-economical structures during different periods in time t hat was very intriguing.The way the book was presented the reader with digs to help with self-educating and usanceful study guides for students to rattling understand what it must have been like in the past, soci exclusivelyy. I matte up the questions were really helpful in stimulating my own critical thinking. Features all through the text gave interesting accounts of everything from groups to major historical events that put the reader right into history.I entangle that the pictures were chosen well to present the material written. I like that everything from resent news, art and European countries were given a fine introduction to western history. I felt the authors were able to give a broader perspective to foreign countries that were much unbiased. Islamic regions were also introduced to the reader in very stimulating terms. And I am glad to see that the expansion of history to include women and gender issues that has occurred in western society. The section on witch hunt s and the Athenian women balanced the book nicely.I really enjoyed flipping through and reading the text and felt that it would be a very good tool to mathematical function for undergraduate study as an introductory class. It gives the student a really good start on terms and concepts of sociology and history.
