Dear geoffbar,
Thank you very much, I'm happy to hear you found my list helpful. As I
mentioned, I wasn't looking for the "best buy", so I've added a few
links where you can do some comparison shopping if you are thinking
about ordering a book.
Sincerely,
hummer

I've not had much luck finding any reference to, "The Human
Adventure", in two volumes, by Breasted and Robinson. Following is
what I did find, perhaps at least one of them is what you are looking
for. I chose these examples for the descriptions rather than looking
for the "best buy" (I've omitted descriptions of conditions).
All by James Henry Breasted and James Harvey Robinson.

volume presents a short survey of Western civilization from its
earliest beginnings to the founding of our coumtry. To bring the main
outlines of so vast a topic within the compass of a single manual has
required the utmost care in the selection, arrangement & presentation

young students as well as the problems of the teacher. They have tried
to make the book clear, interesting & teachable."
