A Global History: From Prehistory to the 21st Century (7th Edition)

7TH EDITION. Designed for courses in World History and World Civilization, this best-selling, classic exploration of world history takes an interdisciplinary global (rather than a regional or national) approach -- tracing those major forces, movements, and events that have had a world-wide impact. It stresses connections between the past. The 7th edition re-evaluates the course of human history with an eye toward the millennium, reflecting in its coverage the end of the cold war and the dawning possibilities for a new type of global history.
