Description
Civilization Past and Present, Concise Version, is a carefully honed version of the best-selling Civilization Past and Present, Ninth Edition. This first brief survey of world history published in four-color, Civilization Past and Present, Concise Version, treats the development and growth of civilization as a global experience through which all the great culture systems have interacted to produce the present-day world. This new text considers all types of history-social, economic, political, military, diplomatic, religious, aesthetic, intellectual, and technological-as it examines that global interaction.
Maintained throughout this compelling, brief survey are a consistent writing style and level of presentation uncommon in multi-authored texts. Its full-color format, abundant pedagogical aids, unique Discovery Through Maps feature, primary source documents, and end-of-chapter annotated website URLs make this book the most user-friendly available in this market. Civilization Past and Present, Concise Version, offers the content, features and pedagogy of a "big" text but in a briefer, four-color format. Finally, a book for students that is truly manageable and provocative.
