Synopsis

The primary goal of World Civilizations is to present a truly global history–since the development of agriculture and herding to the present. Using a unique periodization, this book divides the main periods of human history according to changes in the nature and extent of global contacts.

 

This global world history text emphasizes the major stages in the interactions among different peoples and societies, while also assessing the development of major societies.  Presenting social and cultural as well as political and economic aspects, the book examines key civilizations in world history.  World Civilizations balances this discussion of independent developments in the world's major civilizations with comparative analysis of the results of global contact.

About this title

From the Back Cover

World Civilizations: The Global Experience,
Volume II, Fifth Edition, Atlas Edition Peter N. Stearns, Michael Adas, Stuart Schwartz, and Marc J. Gilbert

With 42 outline maps and four-color maps, World Civilizations: The Global Experience, Fifth Edition, Atlas Edition, helps students with geography, one of the most difficult aspects of World history courses for many. Four-color and outline maps accompanied by review questions call on students to identify important geographical areas and think critically about the connection between geography and historical events. The maps are on perforated pages and organized by chapter so that they can be assigned easily and collected.

Here is a sample of the maps included:

Russian Expansion Under the Early Tzars
Routes and Products Exchanged in the Asia Trading Network, ca. 1500
Treaty Ports and the Boxer Rebellion in China
The Scramble for Africa
World War II in the Pacific Outline Map
After Empire: Africa and the Middle East

A complete listing of the maps appears at the front of this book.
