About this title

Review:

"Why do we stick with D & S year after year? D & S has a good full narrative of historic events and key figures much of the time. D & S is still the best of the lot in this respect. D & S is written in a straightforward style, very accessible to our undergraduates. There is also a good balance of Western and non-Western material most of the time. The color prints and other art work are of good quality and illustrate cultures and periods effectively."
