Reviews
I used the beginning of this book for my Art of Asia class and found it very helpful. The diction is not complicated so one is able to quickly read through the passages and get the information down. For quizzes, going through the passage a second time really helped in understanding what I read. It was, however, a lot smaller than I anticipated for the price, so I recommend purchasing it used. There are lots of color pictures to balance out the small text, great for those who get bored and distracted easily while reading, such as myself. Overall, if needed for a class, I would definately buy it.
