Editorial Review:

Product Description:

Considerably revised, this edition of Documents in World History gives professors a large variety of primary sources from all areas of the world.

 

The book retains its global emphasis and includes more primary sources that balance social and cultural history with standard selections, political coverage, and greater coverage of Africa and the Middle East, including Persia.   Several individual selections have been replaced and others augmented to provide increased richness and interest. Materials on social issues have also been enhanced.
