A History of World Societies: To 1715

Intended for a survey-type, college-level history course, this volume covers the main themes and developments in world history, emphasizing the experiences of ordinary people and integrating coverage of women's history and the non-Western world. Includes learning aids such as focus questions, summaries, and document excerpts as well as very good color illustrations. Volume Two covers the years from 1500 (providing some overlap).
