There's no reason to perpetuate the Roman stereotype of them. Note it and move on to addressing them by name. A colleague of mine has read it as well and made some additional observations I'd like to highlight.
The sections involving Latin terms also need to be cleaned up a bit. Most Coloni were "veterani" or their descendants who were settled in conquered provinces to secure Roman power.
They kept the peace and were given land as incentive for military service. They were by definition free Roman citizens, in contrast to the rustici or nativi who were non-citizens and often suffered under early forms of serfdom. A few topics deserve more treatment, in particular the time between the Arab Conquest and the Crusades.
More should be said of the Carolingians, the Holy Roman Empire, etc. I think it's relevant and appears like it would be easy to update. I don't not say this as a criticism necessarily. If anything, such a relationship makes updating even more streamlined. I will include these next remarks here because of the relationship to Wikipedia. I considered placing them in the first section as well. I would greatly appreciate a section "For Further Reading" so that the reliance on Wiki would be mitigated a bit.
See some of my comments above, but overall I think it is well-written for an early Undergraduate textbook. I would like a bit more precision and nuance on certain topics some addressed above but the overall prose is lucid and accessible. I think this is written in a more readable prose for Freshman than the vast majority of textbooks. Terminology is fine so far as I could tell. I do think the framework needs to tweaked some see comments above about the time periods between the Arabic Conquest and the Crusades.
No issues here. The headings are intuitive and provide a generally fair amount of reading for each section. Easily digestible for undergrads. They are logical and clear other than the last chapter or two on Islam and the Early Middle Ages which feels rushed see comments above. It's inclusive. The section on women in Egypt was great to see but so short.
Much more could said there and in other regions and times. See also my previous comments on religion. My other major concern is that there is a lack of primary source citations.
Many expensive texts include text-boxes or something similar to address this. Others include an entirely separate book. Considering cost, the latter is a bad option, of course. Good instructors will no doubt supplement this book with primary sources, but I would like to see more sources cited in the text to demonstrate how vibrant, exciting, and relevant history is. For example, when I discuss women in Egypt, I discuss letters from the worker's village at Deir el-Medina from two women to each other.
One essentially states she has nothing to wear for the social function that week, so she wants to borrow something from the letter recipient. My students get a good laugh at that!
More significantly, that conversation allows us to discuss literacy rates and gender. Did these women know how to write or have access to scribes somehow if not? Both options have interesting implications for their treatment in Egyptian society. I say all this as one example how vital including primary sources is to make history come alive. The book is well-written but needs more of this for history to come alive, which I find is often an uphill battle in Civ classes, as many students come into the class after a poor experience with history class in high school IE, boring.
Finally, I'd like to note that there is a good chance my department adopts this book. It does a nice job overall. My comments above are made in hopes of improving it further. The text covers the main ideas and areas of the subject well. However, it lacks an index, glossary, and bibliography. The addition of a bibliography or at least some suggested readings connected with each chapter would be most helpful for The addition of a bibliography or at least some suggested readings connected with each chapter would be most helpful for undergraduates.
The text is generally accurate. However, some sections are stronger than others. The chapters on the Roman republic and empire are particularly strong and even handed. The chapter on Islam, however, glosses over key events such as the murder of Uthman and the events at Karbala which were crucial in the creation of the division between Sunnism and Shiism.
There are also some minor factual oversights which could use editing - Abbasid era scholars did pioneering work in optics and refraction but did not develop telescopes; the letter which Pope Gregory sent to missionaries in Anglo-Saxon England did not go to Bede but to Augustine of Canterbury; Solon was by all accounts an archon and not unlike Draco before him or Peisistratus afterwards a tyrant.
Of greater concern is that, on occasion, the author makes unnecessary polemical statements. The most egregious of these is his repeated assertion that many Western Civilization textbooks begin with Greece. Most widely used textbooks, however, begin with Mesopotamia and Egypt just as this one does, so this is misguided. This otherwise very useful text is also occasionally marred by diction which is overly informal. A textbook such as this needs to both present material in an engaging fashion which this does and to offer students a strong example of scholarly prose.
The book incorporates recent scholarship though its citation of it is uneven. Here again a bibliography of some sort would be most helpful. The text explains most technical terms very clearly and makes appropriate use of etymologies in its explanations. Most of the book is well organized. It could use a bit of tightening up in a few areas, though. For example, it discusses the Mycenean Civilization in two different sections when it would be clearer to keep it all together.
This textbook clearly is the product of great effort and is generally well-organized and presented. As mentioned above, it could benefit from some minor editing for accuracy, diction and, on occasion, organizational clarity and would be improved by the inclusion of a bibliography or suggested reading list as well as an index. It is a strong attempt to offer a survey of a broad period and would be of use particularly in the community college environment.
It is available in three volumes covering the following time periods and topics:. Content Accuracy rating: 5 The text is accurate although because it is concise, does not include some of the finer detail on topics that an instructor may choose to clarify.
Clarity rating: 4 For my Freshman student population, accessible prose is important and I think this text does an excellent job of that. Consistency rating: 4 Most chapters have a conclusion but not all. Modularity rating: 5 The text is broken down into logical modules that would be easy to teach as a stand alone lesson.
Interface rating: 5 I experienced no interface issues. Grammatical Errors rating: 5 Overall grammar is correct. It is an informal writing style that I think my students will enjoy. Cultural Relevance rating: 4 I do not see the text as being culturally insensitive, at the same time there could be more information about how race and ethnicity played a role in history. Comments I like the text and plan on using it in my classes.
Content Accuracy rating: 5 Within the constraints listed above, the content is historically accurate and reflects current consensus of scholars in the field. Clarity rating: 4 This prose is adequately clear. Consistency rating: 5 The terminology is consistent with the purposes and framework of the text. Modularity rating: 5 The modularity is perhaps the strongest aspect of this text.
Interface rating: 3 The general aspects of the interface for the text is fine. Grammatical Errors rating: 4 Overall, the text is free from grammatical errors. Cultural Relevance rating: 3 The text is fairly inclusive and certainly is more so than more tradition, paper-based textbooks. Content Accuracy rating: 4 The text was quite accurate in most regards, though the statement in the introduction about most histories of Western Civilization starting with the Greeks doesn't match my experience.
Clarity rating: 5 I found no problems with the clarity and style of the text, and especially appreciated the lack of jargon. Consistency rating: 5 Although I have problems with the degree to which the text centers historical events from a ruling class perspective, I must agree that the approach is consistent.
Modularity rating: 5 Sections of the text could easily be assigned in smaller sections without losing a sense of clear organization. Interface rating: 4 I was pleased with the easy interface of mostly maps in the text, though at least one map lacked a key to the expansion of an empire. Grammatical Errors rating: 5 Grammar and style are generally not a problem, and the book seems to be at an appropriate level for college readers.
Comments Despite some shortcomings, the author certainly deserves praise for a highly readable and accurate survey of a vast period of history. Content Accuracy rating: 3 Any textbook that covers the scope of material included in these volumes will have a few inaccuracies, or it will offer explanations that cause a specialist to cringe. Clarity rating: 3 In some regards the terminology used is quite clear.
Consistency rating: 3 Although the coverage of the ancient world was fairly robust, coverage of early medieval Europe was too cursory. Modularity rating: 3 The chapter headings and foci are excellent. Interface rating: 5 The PDF version of the textbook worked very well. Grammatical Errors rating: 3 Although the number of grammatical errors was fairly small, the prose periodically borders on wordy or unclear forms of expression.
Cultural Relevance rating: 4 Since the s introductory courses in European history often address the racist and imperialist assumptions that initially fashioned the concept of Western Civilization.
Content Accuracy rating: 4 The content of this text appears to be accurate and in-line with the narrative of published works on this subject, which usually begin with early hominids and the rise of agriculture, though some subjects are treated with more detail than others. Clarity rating: 4 The language is clear and accessible. Consistency rating: 5 The text is consistent in terminology, focus, and framework.
Modularity rating: 4 The organizational structure is built on a chronological narrative that would make taking chapters out of order somewhat nonsensical. Interface rating: 3 The selection of maps and photographs is well chosen to illustrate the chapters, though a few more illustrations would be welcome. Grammatical Errors rating: 5 Few, if any, grammatical errors of significance are present.
Cultural Relevance rating: 4 Within the confines of the topic of Western Civilization, which is necessarily focused on Western Europe, this text appears to be mostly inclusive. Content Accuracy rating: 3 Most sections I found to be accurate but there were a few errors, some more troubling than others. Clarity rating: 4 See some of my comments above, but overall I think it is well-written for an early Undergraduate textbook.
Consistency rating: 4 Terminology is fine so far as I could tell. Modularity rating: 5 No issues here. Grammatical Errors rating: 5 No major issues. Cultural Relevance rating: 3 It's inclusive. Comments My other major concern is that there is a lack of primary source citations.
