Publisher's Description of Story of the World Volume 2 Audiobook CDs
The Audiobook brings history to life with this spirited reading of The Story of the World Volume 2: The Middle Ages by renowned narrator Jim Weiss. Save time by listening on the road or while preparing dinner, or let it lull the children to sleep at bedtime.
Category Description for Story of the World Volume 2: Middle Ages (2nd Ed.)
Volume 2 picks up where Volume 1 left off, and tells the fascinating story of the "Dark Ages," from the fall of Rome through the Renaissance. Like the preceding book, this story of history doesn't limit itself to a dry, white-bread-without-the-crusts retelling of a primarily European history, instead it is a rich, whole-wheat blend of European, Indian, Chinese, Australian, Arabic, Japanese, Jewish, Mongolian, Turkish, African, Russian, Australian and American history during the period. Fascinating topics abound here, including knights, samurai, Vikings, the rise of Islam, the Crusades, Genghis Khan and the Mongols, the Plague, the Mayans, the Incas, Marin Luther, the Reformation, the discovery of the Americas, and much more. A timeline and an index are included at the back. Revised in 2007, this 2nd edition text is available in hc or pb, and activity book is paperback.

We purchased the audio portion to listen in the car and when doing work. Just enough detail, not boring at all. I got the first volume and then the 2nd. I don't want to miss any of it!

Great for long car rides!
This is our second year using Story of the World. I've been very impressed with the books, as well as the CDs. I love using the CDs as a supplement to the books. We all listen to the CDs in the car, then we read the book, then listen to the CDs, again--it really helps to cement the information!

Finally a CD for kids that the parents can enjoy equally We have listened to this series while on road trips and our whole family becomes entranced in the story Even our youngest (2 and 3 at the time) was content to listen to these CDs When not joyriding these CDs are ideal for the auditory learner the beginning and developing reader as well as the tired and/or stressed teacher who has had enough (ie me) =) I have had great success playing these for my kids while they read along in the SOTW books Not only are they getting the benefit of reading (seeing the words) it while hearing it simultaneously I get a bit of a break from reading once and a whileWe have listened to the CDs several times; they are definitely worth the cost regardless if you use SOTW academically or not
