Panorama: A World History

My review is from a homeschooler's viewpoint using the Classical Approach. Will be using this text my 8th grader for spring semester along with the resources identified below as a "review" of middle school history studies.After much research of products, I selected the text for following four reasons:1) Enhances currently used resources and helps look at history: Needed more information than Alex Woolfe's "A Short History of the World" and connects historical events and trends across the world not dominated by Western viewpoint. Hyperhistory Online (see: http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/History_n2/a.html) and Flow of History (see: http://www.flowofhistory.com/units/ )2) Found "World History for All of Us" site which is wonderful resource and I like it's approach to developing an understanding of history through themes (See: http://worldhistoryforusall.sdsu.edu.) It is through the WHfAoU site that I found Panorama.2) I wanted a WORLD view of history not dominated by the Western point of view3) Along with "World History for All of Us", it provides a framework to look at global history events and how they tie together.Some specific things I'm enchanted with in Panorama:- the idea of looking at Africa, Europe and Asia as one continent...make so much sense to me.. it's the first chapter- the text has the most wonderful maps throughout which provide a panoramic view of the era being looked at (hence the than Panorama)- the Focus questions (highlighted in blue at the beginning of sections) are excellent in providing a basis from which to look at the events (also, are good test questions :)

i purchased this as a supplemental text for my students and LOVE that it comes in a binder ready wrap. This is a lower level AP world textbook and great for students taking the course needing a more basic approach - but also has a great approach to learning history which allows it to be an easy additional supplement for AP World classes utilizing more challenging books.
