Mistakes in Barron's World History 2008

<p>I was wondering if anyone else currently studying out of this book is finding many mistakes. I'm going through the entire book for the June Test, and have just finished the Unit II quiz when I found one very east to spot mistake... and if I totally misinterpreted the question than real sorry but i guess it's cause it's really late...</p>

<p>P. 50 #11. Which political, economic, and cultural center is incorrectly linked with the early civilization?</p>

<p>A. Jerusalem - Hebrew
B. Meroe - Kush
C. Knossos - Shang
D. Caral - Norte Chico Peru
E. Ur - Sumer</p>

<p>I chose C, since Knossos is in Greece and Shang is Chinese... but the answer key says D, and gives P. 31 as a reference, which talks about Norte Chico Peru and about Caral being the Americas' first known city...</p>

<p>So maybe it is just a simple typo, but, I was wondering (first off if i just completely misread everything about what the question was asking... again LATE!) if there were any other mistakes in the book or if there was somewhere I could find a correct answer key? Maybe from Barrons direct or user-generated...</p>

<p>I find myself questioning if a few other questions that I got wrong are actually right...</p>

<p>P. 51 #18. Which of the following societies developed a lasting concept of monotheism?</p>

<p>A. Hebrew
B. Egyptian
C. Non Nok Tha
D. Hindu
E. Chinese</p>

<p>I answered A, book says B with P. 44 as a reference, which talks about the Assyrian invasion of Israel and Judah and even features an excerpt from the Ten Commandments.</p>

<p>It also dawned on me, what if questions I previously answered correctly are actually wrong? I wonder if I can try getting a refund from Barron's...</p>
