Exceptional global narrative and accompanying multimedia support help students make firm connections between political, social and cultural history Renowned for its balanced presentation, clear prose, and exceptional treatment of the West in a global context, Western Civilizations makes the case that Western civilization cannot be viewed as a single, continuous culture. By expanding on geographic and cultural contexts and the many hybrid cultures that resulted from Western encounters in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, the text helps students make connections between political, social, and cultural history—in the process acquiring a better understanding of why Western civilizations developed as they did.
The most global approach to world history, now more streamlined and accessible. Rather than following the more traditional civilizations or regionally-oriented approach, Worlds Together, Worlds Apartbuilds each chapter around major world history stories and themes: the emergence of cities, the building of the Silk Road, the spread of the Black Death, the Age of Exploration, and others.
The Third Edition of Voices of Freedom includes documents reflecting the global dimension of American history and remains a comprehensive collection that offers a diverse gathering of authors and a wide breadth of opinion. An invaluable supplement to the text, all the primary source documents address the theme of American freedom in its many dimensions.
America, now in its twenty-fifth year, has sold more 1.2 million copies over the past seven editions and remains the most affordable history text on the market.
