Binding: PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 909 EAN: 9780321488312 Edition: 6 ISBN: 0321488318 Label: Longman Manufacturer: Longman Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 736 Publication Date: November 05, 2006 Publisher: Longman Studio: Longman Editorial Review: Product Description: With its brief, global (rather than West-centered) approach, World History in Brief, Sixth Edition, seeks to show how different civilizations developed in a global context.
Rather than overwhelm students, the chief goal of World History in Brief is to present the big picture, to facilitate comparison and assessment of change, and to highlight the major developments in the world's history. This text also emphasizes the global interactions of major civilizations so that students can compare and assess changes in the patterns of interaction and the impact of global forces such as migration and technology exchange. The compact size of this text gives instructors the opportunity to take advantage of additional supplementary readings. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Entertaining World HistoryThis is an excellent book that manages both to inform and entertain. If you've forgotten much of what you ever learned about the subject, this book will bring you right back up to speed. Wonderful! Rating: - Pretty good for a history book!I am not a history buff! I bought this book for a college history class. I have been dreading this class just because of the reading. Surprisingly, this book isn't too bad! It is very well organized and just seems to flow and make sense. My only complaint is that the entire book is in black & white. Absolutely none of the artwork inside of the book is in color. Although, that does help cut down on the cost of the book, which is very much appreciated! Rating: - ExcellentWorld History is an exceptionally difficult subject to teach and to learn not least because the events it covers are so complex and diverse. This book does an excellent job in making a complex subject accessible. Highly recommended. Rating:  - Prehistory to Present Day In a NutshellStudying World History can be a chore for many students including myself. As the title discloses...it is "Brief". Each civilization and topic is addressed with just the right amount of information, along with timelines, debate topics, as well as additional suggested readings and websites, if students want to dig deeper into the past. The cost is much more reasonable than a lot of college course books; so, if your course requires this text, it won't break the bank or put you to sleep in the first ...
