This comprehensive, mainstream text takes a social approach to history, using political history as its basic framework. It is known for its readability, its attention to recent scholarship, and its new historical interpretations. The new edition features increased coverage of global topics. Material on the Middle Ages has been consolidated to allow more room for non-Western coverage. Chapter 27 from the previous edition, which covered both Africa and Asia, has been split into separate chapters on each region. Chapter 11 from the previous editionon Asia and the Mongolshas been divided into separate chapters on East and South Asia. New! Two-page "Global Trade" boxed features investigate a variety of important products and commodities, including pottery, tea, slaves, and oil. The feature presents historical background on the commodity, traces its trade throughout the world, and shows its impact on other cultures. New! New pedagogy in the Sixth Edition includes key terms, chapter outlines, and chronologies. New! About one-third of the maps, illustrations, "Listening to the Past" primary source features, and "Individuals in Society" biographical features in this edition are new.
Decent Introductory Text
| Customer Rating: | | This is by far not the best World history book out there, but as a text attempts to cover other parts of the world better than many. Still heavily slanted toward the western world, and still refuses to give the Great Muslim Empire the credit it's due, still relatively readable. |
A History of World Societies: Complete
| Customer Rating: | | This book was purchased for use with History 100 and History 101 at Miramar College, part of the San Diego City College system. The instructor for these two sections is Mr. Garrett Booker. If you intend to take both classes which together encompass roughly 10,000 B.C. up to modern society, this is the book to buy rather than two seperate books that will cost more. |
Teacher disappointed in this book
| Customer Rating: | | Our school adopted this text, hoping it would give greater context to history reading, but the context provided is sometimes so random and the core information so hard to access that I am very sorry we are using it. History texts for high school students should have attention-grabbing context but very organized essential content. This is a big disappointment. |
