True to its title, this uniquely integrated text highlights the stories and themes in world history that tied cultures and regions together, and in some cases, drove them apart.

In this second edition, the book's non-Eurocentric approach continues with expansions of the original eleven world history "turning point" stories from the modern period to include ten more "turning point" stories from the earlier periods of world history. From the history of the world's first cities built on the great rivers of Afro-Eurasia, to the formation of the Silk Road, to the rise of nation-states, and the story of modern globalization, Worlds Together, Worlds Apart provides students with the stories that changed history and enables them to make the connections they need in order to better understand how the world came to be what it is today.

Worlds Together, Worlds Apart presents a global, thematic approach built around stories of global significance, enabling students to readily grasp historical comparisons.

Inclusion of every region of the world throughout the chronological narrative, rather than each region having its own chapter in each period. This integrative approach encourages students to think of world history as a dynamic process and allows them to more easily identify comparisons and connections across regions.

A non-Eurocentric world history built around stories and themes, highlighting cultural exchange, changing power relationships, and resistance to global historical forces. This writing strategy allows the authors to uniquely integrate global trends—to argue that the rise of the West was never inevitable nor was it ever complete—and challenges students to see world history from different perspectives.

Three major new themes in the second edition enhance coverage of gender, migration, and the environment.

Pedagogical tools that are carefully crafted to enable students to think analytically about world history concepts and themes, including a stellar map program with enhanced captions, study questions, in-text focus question boxes, newly designed chronologies, pull quotes, and primary source documents.
