Favorite textbook history (world history)

[Staceyshoe]

I'm considering switching to a textbook-based history next year which would be very different for us.  I'd like to find a jr. high or high school level textbook that covers world history from approximately 1400-present.  I'm open to both secular and Christian resources.  Suggestions?

We used Prentice Hall World History: Connections to Today as our spine. It's HS level, totally secular.

I had been leaning toward History Odyssey but knew that there were other options I hadn't considered yet.  So glad you mentioned this.  I wasn't aware of it, and it's looks great!

K12's Human Odyssey series.  You would want the second and third volumes (though I suggest a quick read through of the first as well).

The "big" curriculum houses all have world history text books.   BJU, Abeka, Alpha Omega, PAC

 

Holt has a world history book you can buy at Rainbow Resource.  You might be able to find older used editions at used bookstores too.

 

I probably wasn't too much help, but I hope I helped some :)

This is what we have and use. I enjoy reading them on my own to keep up with the kids, so that's saying something! ;)

My dd is a history buff, and she likes the K12 books enough to use them.  I like them enough to keep them and re-use them for ds, if that says anything.

Notgrass Company has both  middle school and high school world history courses/textbooks .  The books are divided into part 1/part 2 (semester 1/2), so should be easy to pick up in the time period you are wanting.
