Ocena: 0 (0 głosów)

For introductory courses in world history. The World gives students the whole story. It is a new kind of history text - not just a collection of facts and figures. World renowned historian, world respected scholar, successful author of more than 25 books translated into 22 languages, and exceptional writer, author Felipe Fernández-Armesto offers a truly holistic narrative of the world, from human beginnings to the present. All aspects of the text - from the exceptionally clear narrative that always places the story in time, to the unparalleled map program, to the focused pedagogical features - support the story. Because of the author's breadth of vision, students will come away with a deep understanding of the fundamental interrelationships - among peoples and their environments - that make up the world's story. Developing a project like The World required the input of and counsel of hundreds of individuals. David Ringrose, respected World Historian from the University of California-San Diego, served as The World's editorial consultant, and provided extensive teaching tips in the Instructor's Guide to Teaching the World. Nearly 100 reviewers critiqued the manuscript, from the first edition to the final draft. Instructor focus groups were held throughout the country during the publication process. And finally, we are proud that over 1,000 students from across the country class-tested The World, providing invaluable feedback and advice. Available in two- and three-volume splits, as well as a combined version.

The color maps and photos are excellent, and the story at the beginning of each chapter helped draw the students into each period. " - Matt Hoper, California Polytech State University "I give The World a solid 'A' for its breadth of coverage, analytical framing and questions format, and its beautiful design."-Michael Wolfe, Penn State-Altoona "[C]learly written and fluid prose that's easy to understand."-Eben Miller, Southern Maine Community College Fernandez-Armesto has chosen maps and pictures that stimulate debate and questions, but which also illuminate the topics at hand." -Chad Ross, East Carolina University "...the seamless integration of social, cultural, political, economic, and geographic considerations allow for flexible pedagogy and the course emphasis to shift and unfold as desired by the instructor." -Karen Kimball, University of Maine-Machias GIVE YOUR STUDENTS THE WHOLE STORY...WITH A CHRONOLOGICAL ORGANIZATION!

"His engaging style was easy to ready and made me want to know more." - Student from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Master Historian and Storyteller - The World presents the compelling story of humankind with a remarkable clarity of vision. Perhaps the most striking feature of The World is the distinct voice of author Felipe Fernández-Armesto. A renowned writer and thinker, Fernández-Armesto's dynamic voice unfolds on every page, chapter title and photo caption. His prose is clear and eloquent, his arguments logical, and his writing passionate. Fernández-Armesto emphasizes asking the right questions over providing set-in-stone answers. His writing brings history to life through richly nuanced stories and sparkling details that will stay with students long after they've turned the page. GIVE YOUR STUDENTS THE WHOLE STORY...WITH A FOCUS ON CRITICAL THINKING!

"The maps in THE WORLD are vastly better than maps in most other textbooks."- Stephen Morillo, Wabash College Maps by DK - Dorling Kindersley, one of the world's most respected cartographic publishers, designed each of the 175 maps specifically for The World in partnership with Prentice Hall. The unparalleled map program features all of the places mentioned in the book, and the maps were rigorously reviewed for accuracy and clarity. The World's extensive, integrated map program reinforces the text's unified treatment of world history in both utility and design. For example, see pages 142-143, 342, and 488. Visual Program - The compelling photos and illustrations are part of the narrative, providing a tightly coordinated ensemble of text and visuals. The text's photo researchers scoured the archives of the world to find an array of visual evidence never before assembled in a textbook. The author's image captions offer great detail, reveal fascinating insight, and shed light on problems and parallels in human history. For example, see pages 432 "Astrolabe" and page 571 "Chocolate." A Closer Look - provides in-depth visual analysis of a specific cultural artifact.
