Each topic or lesson covers two pages, and includes comprehension questions, a vocabulary drill and a few "fun facts'. The text also includes several color photos and maps, along with a glossary. This brief overview is best suited as a supplement for middle school students who need some enrichment material, and not sufficient as a core or primary history curriculum. 128 pgs, pb. ~ Mike
