Description
The Earth and Its Peoples: A Global History offers an expansive examination of human civilization from prehistoric times to the contemporary era. Written by leading historians Richard W. Bulliet, Pamela Crossley, Daniel Headrick, Steven Hirsch, and Lyman Johnson, this authoritative text presents history through a truly global perspective rather than a Western-centric approach.
The textbook emphasizes the interconnectedness of world regions, highlighting how technological innovations, trade routes, religious movements, and political systems spread and evolved across continents. Students discover how societies from Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas developed independently yet influenced one another profoundly. The work covers major historical periods including ancient civilizations, medieval kingdoms, the age of exploration, industrialization, and modern geopolitics, providing context for understanding contemporary global issues.
