World Civilizations

World Civilizations
$264.95
  • Fifty-four concise chapters of 10 to 15 pages in length cover key points in manageable "chunks." This organization is ideal for professors who wish to augment lectures with outside material.
  • The document feature, "Evidence of the Past," spotlights artifacts, material culture, and oral traditions as source materials for historical study. Examples include the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamen, Ibn Battuta's visit to East Africa, Ibn Ishaq's biography of Muhammad, and more.
  • Part-opening essays provide context, describing the chapters in each part in terms of the text's overall periodization scheme, which employs a theme of equilibrium (balance among equally powerful civilizations) and disequilibrium (under which the West held sway over the rest of the world). Chapter-opening epigrams, outlines, and chronologies provide an overall preview and context for studying each chapter. With these introductory sections, students have accurate expectations of what they need to know from the chapter.
  • Themes for the text (including Society and Economy, Law and Government, Patterns of Belief, Science and Technology, and Arts and Culture) operate consistently among text references, boxes, figures, and column heads in end-of-part cross-cultural comparison Worldviews.
  • A parenthetical in-text pronunciation guide enables students (and instructors!) to discuss these concepts with confidence. Select maps are accompanied by critical thinking questions that teach students how to read, think about, and work with maps as a historian might. The map captions also indicate exactly where students can locate interactive versions of the maps.
