The authors of VOYAGES IN WORLD HISTORY never forget that history is made up of the stories of people. Each chapter of the text centers on a story--a traveler's account that highlights the book's main theme, the constant movement of people, goods, and ideas. The travelers include merchants, poets, rulers, explorers, soldiers, missionaries, and scholars, and their voyages provide a framework for each chapter to draw students into the stories of world history. For the second edition of this text, the authors added broad global connections to every chapter, which ensure students understand events in a larger context. The print text integrates with an online experience through the interactive Voyages Map App (fully accessible via any computer or mobile device), which will transport students virtually to the locations in the book to learn about the historic sites, and also includes a wealth of study tools. VOYAGES IN WORLD HISTORY helps students make sense of the range of people, places, and events crucial to comprehension of world history. Available in the following split options: VOYAGES IN WORLD HISTORY, Second Edition Complete, Volume 1: To 1600, and Volume 2: Since 1500.
