Period F

HW7

The origin of “Mastering World History” is Palgrave Macmillan(an international company) in association with Norman Lowe and a group of historians. It was published on 175 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY, 10010, in 2005.

 The purpose of this document is to teach high school students about world history from 1914 up to the modern era, and to earn money. 

The value of this document is that it provides information to high school and college students regarding world history between 1914 and 2005. Also, it comes from a group of trusted historians writing for a book published by a company that has been making world history books for about 30 years. They are also an international company, making them not as biased.

The limitations are:

  • 3 years old
  • One purpose is to make money
  • Doesn't have color pictures
  • Other limitations may appear as you read the document

Pretty solid stuff on the origin and purpose.

Limitations of textbooks may include a lack of detail into specific aspects of history.

10 out of 10.

Thanks!
