Connections: A World History tells the compelling story of how the peoples and societies that preceded us shaped the world. Emphasizing the central theme of connections among world societies, the authors present a straightforward narrative that focuses on the big picture of world history. The text is organized both by chronology and by overarching themes in order to help you draw connections among regions and time periods.
The 4th Edition has been updated with fresh discussions to keep pace with the latest world historical interpretations. A new epilogue, Connections in a Globalizing Age, discusses transnational and global issues facing the world in the twenty-first century.
