Going into the education field here in New York, Barron's review book for global and geography has been the corner stone of finding out the what needs to be taught, where it needs to be taught, and when. Everything now is about most effectively using the 42 minutes we are given to educate our students before they ship off to another class, and Barron's Review definitely gives us an edge up on the standardized testing as well as the education standards states like New York impose on their education system.The review book is not only well written, but it is expansive and in-depth on the level of a history textbook. I will admit that I was a bit skeptical before purchasing the book as it was described to me as a necessary text--but with the Barron's name and a review feel. The book goes far beyond the traditional "review" standards many texts are marred by. Each subject (Ancient Civilizations & Religion, Global Interactions, Age of Revolutions, ect.) goes into incredible detail and provides the educator with not only key facts, but even more importantly, avenues for finding the ever illusive primary resources. To me that single ability alone makes this book easily worth both its weight and its price tag.Overall I definitely recommend this whether you are on the education side or the student side of the process. It can be a great tool for teaching as well as a studying.5 Globally Educated Stars out of 5!

Excellent review if you live in NY State and your student is taking the Global History and Geography Regents either this year or next. Ninth graders can use it to go over their materials before their finals. Sophomores SHOULD use the book to review for the Regents examination which comes at the end of grade ten.The Regents is based on both ninth and tenth grade work which is a lot to recall for many students. THIS HELPS!

Great book. Well organized and gives a decent level of detail on each topic. It's not just practice tests.I got this so that my soon to be 9th grader could get a bit of a jump start over the summer before starting high school. This book gives great exposure to the topic and the types of questions she is going to be expected to answer. The sections on the various essays are especially interesting. I can use it too for some light reading on the topic.

Used it for the regents, got an 89.It's really helpful, and useful. I recommend that you purchase it if you are taking a regents.

Amazing book for board review. Bought it for little brother and he did really well on his exam great book

It covered a lot of material that helped with the thematic essay as well as the multiple choice portion of the exam.

The book was in good condition as specified
