(P/B) DISCOVERING THE GLOBAL PAST (VOLUME II)

Παρουσίαση

This successful world history reader in the popular DISCOVERING series contains a six-part pedagogical framework that guides students through the process of historical inquiry and explanation. Each chapter is organized within the same pedagogical framework: The Problem, Background, The Method, The Evidence, Questions to Consider, and Epilogue. The text emphasizes historical study as interpretation rather than memorization of data. The Fourth Edition integrates new documents and revised coverage throughout, while the comparative chapters contribute to a more thorough and balanced examination of global history.
FEATURES:
Each chapter is divided into the following sections: The Problem, Background, The Method, The Evidence, Questions to Consider, and Epilogue.
Actual documents and artifacts are used as the sources from which students develop answers to historical questions.
An Instructor's Manual, written by the authors of the text, gives instructors helpful tips on how to use this text in their course.
NEW TO THIS EDITION:
Volume II includes three new chapters: Cross-Cultural Encounters: Travel, Religion, Conquests, and Trade (Chapter 1; this chapter is also Chapter 14 in Volume I); The Age of Revolutions in the Atlantic World (Chapter 6); and Reform and Reaction in the Soviet Union and China at the End of the Cold War (Chapter 14).
Chapters 3, 4, and 5 have been reworked: Chapter 3 is now The Confucian Family: Social Tyranny or Group Harmony; Chapter 4 is now Gender, Labor, and Property in Rural Societies; and Chapter 5 is now The Sweet Nexus: Sugar and the Origins of the Modern World.
Chapter 3 has been recast to focus on the contrast between the modern and traditional views of the individual and the family.
Chapter 4 has been expanded to include coverage of gender. (From the publisher)
