Synopsis:
Providing a survey of world societies from antiquity to the present - particularly for courses entitled "World Civilization" or "World History" - this fourth edition maintains the work's emphasis on social history and also treats European and non-European political, economic, cultural and intellectual developments from a balanced, integrated perspective. The authors have incorporated recent research in order to re-create the daily life of people with a fresh approach aimed at capturing the students' interest. Excerpts from primary source material are inserted throughout, together with an extended passage, "Listen to the Past", appearing at the end of each chapter. Students are offered a taste of varied primary source material, not merely western coverage. They are also provided with comparative timelines which demonstrate how different aspects of the historical era interrelate. Available in three formats, this work is designed to fit a variety of student course configurations. An ancillary package is available upon adoption.
