World History (Spring 2018)

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.
