World History: Set 2
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.
