World History is one of the most difficult college-level courses to teach which involves the entire history of humanity. Much of the literature of world history emphasises the differences between regional cultures and local histories, leaving many instructors having to look elsewhere for the similarities that might hold together a global narrative. With decades of combined experience teaching world history, the authors have witnessed first hand the frustration many students experience. Several years have been spent preparing this new approach. This book stands alone, its recurrent and interesting themes give it a unique voice, its format allows the reader to import ideas and themes from unit to another, conceptual bridges that span the many centuries. And while it may not offer flashy multi-colour maps and illustrations, its length and price will speak for itself. Whether you are new to the field or have taught world history for years, this text will help you impart to your students the a global perspective while at the same time providing coverage of the peoples of each regional culture.
