Headnotes and questions supplement each document, while a new �Viewpoints� feature highlights two or three sources per chapter that address a single topic from different perspectives. Comparative questions ask students to make connections between sources and across time.   Sources of World Societies is FREE when packaged with A History of World Societies.
