The Earth and Its Peoples, Volume C: Since 1750: A Global History
THE EARTH AND ITS PEOPLES presents world history in a balanced,
global framework, shifting the focus away from political centers of
power. This truly global text for the world history survey course
employs a fundamental theme--the interaction of human beings and
the environment--to compare different times, places, and societies.
Special emphasis is given to technology (in its broadest sense) and
how technological development underlies all human activity. Highly
acclaimed in their fields of study, the authors bring a wide array
of expertise to the program. A combination of strong scholarship
and detailed pedagogy gives the book its reputation for rigor and
student accessibility. The Fifth Edition features new pedagogy and
a beautiful new design.
