Viac o knihe

This volume provides a broad introduction to the evolution of world civilizations since 1500. A wide selection of short documents, photographs and charts is presented along with introductions, commentaries, guides and questions designed to clarify the material and stimulate discussion. Organized chronologically and regionally, the anthology gives students insights into how historians use evidence (primary and visual sources) and make interpretations (secondary sources) that underlie our understanding of world civilizations. The text includes a strong mixture of women's history and social history.
