Overview Features Contents Order Overview. Description With 83 additional outline and four-color maps, World Civilizations: The Global Experience , Fifth Edition, Atlas Edition, helps students with geography, one of the most difficult aspects of World history courses for many.
The maps are accompanied by review questions that call on students to identify important geographical areas and think critically about the connection between geography and historical events. The maps are on perforated pages and are organized by chapter so that they can be assigned easily and collected. Unique periodization offers a coherent and comprehensible framework for organizing the study of world history. Six distinct eras of world history are defined primarily by the nature and extent of global interaction and contact among all or most civilizations during the particular time period.
The six periods correspond to the six parts of the book. Within each part, the authors identify specific themes that characterize common experiences or common forces in individual societies as well as the kinds, patterns, and extent of global contacts that emerged during the era. Thus, for example, Part I of the book discusses the developmental stage of world history, including the rise of agriculture and the emergence of civilization; Part II examines the classical era in global history, an era marked by the integration of large regions and diverse groups of people through overarching cultural and political systems.
