"Well...it is what it says it is. A short, concise history. I think Davis does a good job with this though. It flows well, hits major points, and tells the tell. Don't expect to learn much from this if you have already had world history classes. This book is a good tool for review, and as a teacher of world history it gave me the broad picture in a way that made me think about what content I should include in my courses. Not a classic, but not a total dud that some have thought it was."
"This would be a great book for a teen, or someone without any knowledge of human history. It lacks detailed historical information and has no real depth...which is someways is understandable, he is after all , covering a very large subject. I just wish he would have taken time to delve a little deeper in at least a few areas...stil, that being said, it is not a bad book, just thin."
"The human race from the stone age to today. I couldn't believe the subject could be covered in any depth in one book, but the author has achieved success. Very entertaining and engaging."
