This is a significant omission and one that robs the historical record of depth and accuracy.

Additionally, the text does not contain an index or glossary, making it difficult to reference specific locations. The content of this text is somewhat accurate.

Accuracy suffers when broad, general statements are made in place of specific details regarding individuals or events. Statements such as this are frequently made throughout the text and do not adequately provide the information necessary to understand the individuals or events presented. Although the author states his intention to provide a text for history students with little to no prior history coursework, there are historical references that are not generally known and for which no context or explanation are provided.

The material in the text is not presented in the most logical order. Essential background information is given near the end of the section and would have been valuable to understanding the events presented at the beginning of the section. The text contains frequent punctuation errors and occasional grammar errors. These errors disrupt and confuse the flow of narrative. This text provides a basic framework for a Western Civilization course, but an instructor would need to address its grammar and content issues, as well as other issues mentioned above, before assigning chapters to students.

The text is comprehensive and manages to cover in at least some detail all the topics one would expect in a Western Civ survey—partly this is achieved through the three-volume format.

The accuracy of the text is a two-fold issue. Regarding the details and sometimes the basic features of institutions, systems, and peoples, the results are more mixed. The first revision of ancient science had actually come during the Abbasid period, and Muslim, Christian, and Jewish medieval scientists had pushed far past the boundaries of ancient science by the early s.

The relevance of the text is a complicated issue. In many chapters, however, there is relatively little to suggest the last fifteen years of scholarship on the issues, and little to suggest to students that the study of history is one of motion, one that is constantly in a state of tension, revision, and re-revision of interpretations over contested historical facts.

Clarity is not an issue—the writing style is both engaging and largely free from jargon, with terms being explained in the text. The text is internally consistent—there is a single authorial voice and point of view throughout both volumes that translates into a unified whole.

Repeating the introduction in each volume of the series helps to reinforce this single vision. Although the text is arranged in PDFs across three parts, rather than two as is more common in Western Civ courses, nothing prevents picking and choosing different chapters as needed for the course. The chapters themselves all contain several sections indicated by subheadings.

The interface is clean, with no observable distortion of images or text in the entire document. There are on average maps and images per chapter, drawn from open sources. The text seems to avoid problematic terminology for the most part. That is, the text largely remains descriptive rather than necessarily analytical, and generally maintains a European perspective. It would be up to the individual instructors who use this textbook to assemble primary sources that give a diverse set of perspectives and experiences.

The introduction, which discusses the term "Western Civilization," its history and the author's approach, lays out problems and possibilities in a manner perhaps more restrained than is warranted, since the positive aspects of thinking on Western Civ were often, if not always, entwined with a white supremacist outlook and advocacy, and it would be good to discuss these moral and philosophical tensions in the introduction as well.

On the whole this three-volume series is a tremendous improvement on previous OER Western Civ textbooks. Like I'm serious, how is this not Copyright infringement??? Then the creature steal's Death's eye as payback. Then gives him no real info. I thought Death would be smarter than this.

There's some more side story about the Kingdom of New Orleans, the United section, the Republic, and the Oracle type dude who's the head of the Message religion.

Oh and the stupid 3 Horsemen of the Apocalypse kids are still doing stuff. Or is this just proof that Hickman drops more acid than Grant Morrison? I wonder. The colours sure are pretty. Especially when high. It wasn't boring.

Take it with a grain of salt and a handful of pills I think I liked Vol. Get this review and more at View all 3 comments. Apr 03, Subham rated it liked it Shelves: indie-comics. Like the way he is searching for his son and fights the creature Chevejo its pretty awesome and on one read it can be frustrating and confusing but they're building towards something and its kinda cool plus the evolution of his son was awesome to see and next up the big battle!

Later on we have Death follow with his two companions to Chevejo who might know the location of his son and its an interesting face off.

Its an intriguing start but yeah there are more questions, less answers and can be a frustrating read but Hickman pays off in the long term. The art is heavenly and each panel so detailed just wow.

Highly recommended. Oct 21, Matthew rated it liked it. This was a bit slow and plodding. Dec 10, Paz R. This graphic novel is so weird, I like it. Much easier to follow than the first volume.

The storylines changed without an easy transition, but I like knowing more about different characters that I didn't even remember from the first volume.

It just looks promising, even if I always feel a bit lost. The artwork is great, it makes the blend of the fantasy elements with old west vibes alive and rich. I'm so glad I picked up volume 2.

Aug 17, Jedi JC Daquis rated it it was ok. Something is fundamentally wrong with East of West. This alternate-universe story of the end of times may be full of awe with its grandiose artwork worthy of reverence, rivaling Vaughan's Saga and Y: The Last Man.

Unfortunately, East of West messes up with one rudimentary element in a what would have been an excellent material: character personality. Critically-acclaimed graphic novel runs like Aaron's Scalped, Gaiman's Sandman and Koike's Lone Wolf and Cub have characters having the most interesting personalities and unique voices. No matter how much you hate or love what they do, you'd instantly know that they are acting according to their persona.

Now, East of West has all the interesting characters but somehow, Hickman fails to give his characters that required distinctness. For example, badass as he may be, Death doesn't have a unique voice. It felt that Death as the story's protagonist could be replaced by one of the three cringeworthingly lame Horsemen I hate these guys! That is the fundamental flaw in East of West: the set pieces and amazing plot paves the writer to create colorful characters but fails to do so.

I mean John Freeman I may be very different from the other Chosen, but he is too shallow to be unique at the level of becoming interesting. Crow and Wolf are two more badasses in the story but they could have been replaced by two equally badass characters. A unique character voice made Sandman's endless and Narutos's Jinchurikis unforgettable. To be fair, plot advances in this second volume gets more steam than the previous one. The flashbacks and back stories are entertaining to read.

Death's action sequences are way more satisfying in this volume than the previous one. On a more personal point of view, I hate "Oh yes, I know the future but not all of it, so figure it yourself" cliche. This plot advancement device has been used over and over whenever there is a prophecy involved.

Could someone aside from Alan Moore, because he masterfully wrote an omniscient Dr. Manhattan write a story with an efficient Oracle, please? I'll keep on reading East of West. View 1 comment.

I really liked this installment of East of West. The art was on point just like in the last volume but the writing was amazing. There were a few really great lines. Also there was a lot more world-building we got to see some of the different nations which I liked.

Yes, yes…I see now. You have two bloody hands, therefore a traitor must be among us…H I really liked this installment of East of West. You have two bloody hands, therefore a traitor must be among us…How could I have missed such definitive an undeniable logic? Best by the wind—your end…is nigh.

This of course had nothing to do with judges being weaker men and women…No, in fact, measure them closely, and you would clearly see that they were almost exactly the same.

Both had long lost their souls. Both were totally corrupt. And both were always for sale. Judges were just cheaper. There are some just really great quotes in here. So a bunch of lawmen kill judges and politicians for being corrupt. Of course it happens in Texas. They were the Rangers and they retired after killing all the judges and politicians. Now the leader is going after the Chosen.

I love how evil the President of the Union is. Death lost an eye…sucks. Aw and the Ranger just fucking killed the Native Chosen before Death could discover where his kid is. Son of a bitch. Jun 04, Bonnie rated it really liked it Shelves: fantasy. I am enjoying the expansion of the universe. Compelling story and characters! Fantastic artwork! I am definitely looking forward to the next volume. May 18, Selwa rated it really liked it Shelves: comics-and-graphic-novels.

I think one of the downsides to this volume is that there's a lot of setup he's looking for his kid, she's looking for money, she's looking for an eyeball , and not much explaining about what has come before, but you know what?

It's a good setup, in that I'm definitely going to get the next volume to see where the story goes. Will he find his kid? Will she get some money? Will she get an eyeball?
