Patterns of World History, Brief Third Edition, offers a distinct framework for understanding the global past through the study of origins, interactions, and adaptations. Authors Peter von Sivers, Charles A. Desnoyers, and George B. Stow examine the full range of human ingenuity over time and space in a comprehensive, even-handed, and critical fashion.
Approximately twenty-five percent shorter than the highly acclaimed comprehensive text, this Brief Third Edition features a streamlined and tightened narrative. With prices starting at $24.95 per split volume, the Brief Third Edition is one of the least expensive full-color world history textbooks available. It is also available as an embedded eBook with OUP's online learning and assessment platform, Dashboard.

"I can't imagine a better book than this. It makes teaching a balanced course so much easier and provides substantial resources for students."
--Erika Snider, Miami University
"I really value the broad scope of Patterns of World History. I also like the 'patterns between cultures and historical development; they place everything within a wide context. The authors keep their approach consistent throughout the chapters, which supplements my lectures nicely."
--AnnaMarie Vallis, California State University, Fresno
"The 'Seeing Patterns' questions at the start of each chapter help students look for the larger themes, while the maps, illustrations, and primary source quotes are wonderful. The instructor's supplemental material (both online and in print) is amazingly good."
--Michael Johnson, Northwest Arkansas Community College
"Patterns of World History elevates the level of discourse, and makes students aware that there are higher levels of understanding facts."
--Gilmar Visoni, Queensborough Community College
