Encyclopedia of World History - in six volumes










The Student's First Reference to World History

In today's world of globalization, there is a growing trend among
historians and students alike to study the common challenges and
experiences that unite the human past. Facts On File's seven-volume
Encyclopedia of World History is a truly groundbreaking work and one of
the first to offer a balanced presentation of human history for a
global perspective on the past. A team of distinguished world history
academics has brought together scores of specialists in writing signed
entries based on the latest scholarship.

Based on the National Standards for World History

Influenced by the National Standards for World History, this
comprehensive and authoritative set is rich in features to make the
study of world history easier for students to understand. Arranged in
six chronological eras that span prehistory to the present day, its
chronological approach follows the way world history is taught and
studied in the classroom. Each volume era begins with essays that
address large themes—such as agriculture, science and technology,
social and class relationships, trade and cultural exchanges, and
warfare—allowing students to make connections and trace key global
patterns over time. The final volume contains primary source documents
and a master index for the set.
