Traditions & Encounters Volume 2 from 1500 to the Present

By Herbert F. Ziegler, Jerry H. Bentley, Heather E. Streets-Salter, et al.

Book Overview

Traditions & Encounters offers an inclusive vision of the global past one that is meaningful and appropriate for the interdependent world of contemporary times. Given the diversity of human societies, gathering and organizing the sheer mass of information in a meaningful way is a daunting challenge for any world history survey course. The seven-part chronological organization enables students to understand the development of the world through time, while also exploring broader, big-picture thematic issues in world history. Through new and revised chapter-level and part-level features, the hallmark twin themes of traditions and encounters emerge in greater clarity than ever before in this sixth edition. As a result, students have resources that enable them to move beyond the facts of history and examine the past critically, analyze causes and effects, and recognize similarities and differences across world regions and time periods. By digging deeper into the implications of world history s stories not just the who, the what, and the where, but also the why and the how students can make sense of the human past. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, and how they need it, so that your class time is more engaging and effective."

Traditions and Encounters volume 2

Service was great, I received the book well before the scheduled delivery time. The book was in perfect condition even though it was classified as used. The price was cheaper than my local college bookstore price for used books (They did not have any available when I checked with them.) I was quite pleased with everything about the transaction. I had read a couple of reviews about the source of the book that indicated people were not recommending them but my experience could not have been better. Great going, guys.

Good Service

It came very promptly, for which I was extremely grateful. The book itself was in great condition. I got it for a class, and it seems to have a lot of good information, which is nice.

Global History Hits

the book came when i needed it. The book was in great condition considering its a textbook. the information in the book was awesome. the seller did a good job of keeping it in good condition.The price of the book was a resonable. I plan on buying more books from the seller. I like the fact that you can find some Textbooks cheaper than at the colleges we pick for school. It will be helpful for future purchases later.
