Edition DescriptionCombined Volume
Synopsis"Ways of the World "offers a genuine alternative for world history survey courses. Designed from the beginning as a brief text, "Ways of the World "focuses on the "big picture" of significant historical developments and is thoroughly global in its thematic and comparative approach. The accessible voice of a single author, with long experience in the classroom and in the world history movement, delivers to students an insightful new synthesis, thought-provoking questions, and chapter ending sections that invite reflection on the meaning of world history. Available in full color and in combined and split volumes, "Ways of the World "makes the whole world teachable., Ways of the World: A Brief Global History with Sources is a docutext combining a brief narrative with written and visual primary source collections, providing the convenience of a text and reader in one volume. Ways of the World is thoroughly global in its thematic and comparative approach. The brief narrative highlights major developments, giving students and instructors the room to explore the primary sources fully. Students can connect with Strayer's distinctive voice and clear, powerful writing. A thoughtful prologue and part-opening essays emphasize the book's "big picture" approach, and each chapter narrative ends with "Reflections," a consideration of history and the human enterprise it explores.
