One of my favorite subjects I teach Jacob and Ashlynn is history. We use The Story Of The World Series By Susan Wise Bauer history curriculum. I was reading the Well Trained Mind Forum a couple of months ago, and came across the opportunity to review Susan Wise Bauer's newest book, History Of The Medieval World. I jumped at the chance.
History Of The Medieval World is written for the high school student, or adult. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It is 746 pages, has 100 maps, 15 illustrations, published by Norton & Company, the list price is $35.00, and it will be released on February 22, 2010.
While it is a complete history of the medieval time period, it doesn't feel dry or boring. Instead it reads like a story filled with facts and famous people. We will use this book as part of Jacob and Ashlynns high school history curriculum when the time comes. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys history, or for a high school history course.
(I haven't received any compensation for this review.)
