Synopsis

Traditions and Encounters: A Global Perspective on the Past is now available as an AP edition with NASTA spec binding! Revisions in the text reflect changes to the AP course, and new AP supplements reflect changes in the AP exam. Traditions and Encounters has a rich history of firsts: the first world history text to take a truly global perspective on the past, the first to emphasize connections among cultures, and the first to combine twin themes with a seven-part framework - making the huge story of world history more manageable.

About the Author:

Herbert F. Ziegler is an associate professor of history at the University of Hawai'i. He has taught world history since 1980 and currently serves as director of the world history program at the University of Hawai'i. He also serves as book review editor of the Journal of World History. His interest in twentieth-century European social and political history led to the publication of Nazi Germany's New Aristocracy(1990). He is at present working on a study that explores from a global point of view the demographic trends of the past ten thousand years, along with their concomitant technological, economic, and social developments. His other current research project focuses on the application of complexity theory to a comparative study of societies and their internal dynamics.
