MASTER TEACHERS FOCUSED ON ENGAGING INTRODUCTORY STUDENTS AND NON-MAJORSNew lead authors Jeremy Adelman (Princeton University) and Elizabeth Pollard (San Diego State University) are master teachers who have focused their revisions on engaging introductory students and non-history majors. Bringing years of classroom and online teaching experience to the text, they have incorporated cutting-edge scholarship on engaging topics like gender, migration, the environment and technology to help students connect their present global world to the past.A STORYTELLING APPROACH THAT BRINGS COHERENCE TO WORLD HISTORYOne of the biggest challenges of the world history survey course is covering thousands of years of history across all regions. Worlds Together frames each chapter with a single global story to make this task less daunting for both students and instructors. Following clear chronology, global storylines (like the rise of world religions or the creation of nation states and empires) help students understand historical developments and draw connections between regions.INNOVATIVE TOOLS TO TEACH GLOBAL HISTORY SKILLSBuilt from the ground up for instructors who want to help students understand global connections and comparisons, Worlds Together also provides the in-text and online tools needed for building history skills with primary sources and maps. Worlds Together features a built-in reader (in the Full and Concise Editions) and effective online tutorials as well as new primary source exercises (for all Editions) that provide opportunities for strengthening history skills throughout the term.
