It's complete, high quality... everything I look for in a book. --Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty 21:44, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose - this book is far from complete. It looks like a complete book when you look at the contents, but many chapters are just section headers. According to the table of contents, everything from the Three Kingdoms period to the Southern Song Dynasty are ignored - in other words, the Three Kingdoms Period, Western and Southern Jin Dynasties, the Northern and Souther Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the two Song Dynasties will never be included in this book - and this includes China's best emperor, Emperor Taizong of Tang. It also lacks navigational devises and the format is inconsistent. Kayau 11:33, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose I suppose this book is intended to meet the requirements of the official specification at AP World History Course Description. This seems not to require coverage of the Southern Song, Jin or Sui Dynasties or Emperor Taizong. Even so, I think that the book needs better cross-referencing to the specification before becoming featured. The course description groups the material into the following periods:
 * c. 8000 b.c.e.–600 c.e. 6 Weeks (19–20%)
 * 600 c.e.–1450 7 Weeks (22%)
 * 1450–1750 6 weeks (19–20%)
 * 1750–1914 6 Weeks (19–20%)
 * 1914–Present 6 Weeks (19–20%)
 * The structure of the book looks unrelated to this periodisation, which makes me suspect that it has diverged significantly from the Advanced Placement syllabus. Recent Runes (discuss • contribs) 19:34, 8 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Not yet complete and many of the pages just seem full of information with no attempt to make it easier to read.--ЗAНИA [[Image:Flag_of_Italy.svg|15px]]talk 11:33, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
