Thematic Approach with a Clear Chronological Organization and a Strong Geographical Emphasis

Eight thematic parts clearly trace the major chronological eras of the world's history. The text links chronology, themes, and geography and moves progressively along a timeline from the emergence of early humans to the present day. The narrative and instructional features focus on three questions: What Do We Know? How Do We Know It? What Difference Does It Make?

Originally developed by a committee of high school teachers to emphasize world history themes, the eight thematic parts clearly trace the major chronological eras of the world's history. The text links chronology, themes, and geography and moves progressively along a time-line from the emergence of early humans to the present day. The narrative and instructional features focus on three questions—What Do We Know? How Do We Know It? What Difference Does It Make?

Emphasis on Analysis of Primary Sources

A variety of documents throughout the textbook and a wealth of additional primary source material is also available, including the Documents in Global History DVD with over 350 text documents in global history and nearly 500 visual sources; the Primary Sources in Global History books (Vol.1 and Vol. 2); and the Visual Sources in World History book.
