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. This focus on world history stories of global significance enables students to more readily grasp historical processes and make comparisons across time and place. Building on the success of the first two editions, the new edition has been made noticeably shorter and more accessible to heighten the world history stories and themes in each chapter and to make the book appeal to an even wider array of instructors and students.
The new Worlds Together, Worlds Apart Companion Reader focuses on primary sources and serves to complement the thematic coverage in and across the chapters, including four special casebooks on Women in the Ancient World, The Spread of the Mongols, Coerced Labor, and Rubber As A Global Commodity.
Additional features to note:
· Focus Questions appear throughout each chapter (one per major section) that keeps students focused on the big picture, particularly connections and comparisons.
· Study Questions at the end of each chapter ask students to think more analytically about the material in the chapter.
· Revised end of chapter global chronologies make it easier to see comparative developments.
· In-text map program with “guiding” questions helps students read maps and understand the relationship between history and geography.
· In-text primary sources with critical questions teach students how to analyze and interpret primary sources.
Worlds Together, Worlds Apart provides students with the stories that changed history, enabling them to make connections and better understand how the world came to be what it is today.
