Description

This is an interactive ebook for a series on modern world history for high school students and teachers. This volume focuses on the rise of democracy in the modern world, including sections on ancient roots, the Enlightenment, England, and the French Revolution. Unlike almost all other textbooks, high school teachers wrote, designed, edited, and published this text to engage students in an in depth analysis of the story of modern world history. 

This book is a first draft and parts have not been fully edited yet. Please email vcleary@bcp.org. Feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks.

We will continue to revise and update the ebooks in this series.

    I found it was easy to follow and that there very little problems that had occurred or I have seen. I enjoyed using this book because there is enough information for you to understand, but not so much that you get overloaded. It was also easy enough to find information within this e-book. It would be helpful if there were more questions at the end of each section to help study and memorize the dates and times in which something occurred. Overall a very helpful and useful book.

  • An all around good book

    This book is good. It went into plenty of detail about the democracies of the time, and was also clear and fun to read. There are a few typos though, and a few more subjects that should have had a little more explanation, and also would have liked it if it maybe went into the democracy of america, but it is still good. Goes into much more detail than the history book I had last year.

  • Great and thoughtful book

    This book has a lot of information on the Rise of Democracy. There are some errors like spelling. I like like the interactive review questions at the end of every chapter because you can answer them in the book. I would suggest some more pictures on some of the pages, like at least one picture on each page because some of the page seem boring without them.

    I liked how the book was very interactive. After each section there was some activity that helped test your knowledge on what you read. I liked how only the most important stuff was written down. Finally, I liked how it wasn't using huge or difficult words to understand because it helped to make the reading clearer. Usually my previous textbooks were just blobs of text and this one helped with all its visual aids.

    I thought it was a very good history book with strong examples and evidence to back things up. Also, with the way that it is written, it is enjoyable to read. Other books either cite useless examples or start talking about random information, but this book stays true to it topic which is vital to keep the readers attention. Also the pictures and diagrams are nice. Good book in general, would highly recommend it to any history class.

  • Understandable

    This is the only history textbook I have not dreaded reading. It is very easy to read and it worded in a way that is is familiar to me. While being so understandable, it also doesn't loose it's historical value. It has all the information you need. Also, unlike other textbooks it only has the information that is important to know. Some other textbooks have useless or unimportant parts the we either skipped over or had to read thorough but get nothing out. This book is the best history textbook I have ever had. Also I love how interactive it is. Great tool to learn history.
