World History

The study of world history is so much more than the study of names and dates; it is the study of stories of fascinating people, civilizations that rose and fell in dramatic fashion, and conflicts that have played out over hundreds and sometimes thousands of years. As readers take a closer look at these stories, they develop a deeper understanding of and appreciation for history. They are aided in their journey through history by fact-filled main text and sidebars, annotated quotations from historical figures and contemporary historians, primary sources, and a timeline.
