Description:...

Worlds Together, Worlds Apart is organized around major world history stories and themes: the emergence of cities, the building of the Silk Road, the spread of major religions, the spread of the Black Death, the Age of Exploration, alternatives to nineteenth-century capitalism, the rise of modern nation-states and empires, and others. The Fourth Edition of this successful text has been streamlined, shortened, and features a new suite of tools designed to help students think critically, master content and make connections across time and place.

The Second Edition of this global, comparative reader--newly edited by the co-authors of Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, Concise Edition--features added textual and visual sources directly tied to developments discussed in the Worlds Together narrative, a new casebook on "Humans and the Environment in the Second Millennium BCE," a deeply discounted package price, and a rich range of global perspectives that set this reader apart.
