About This Product

Duiker and Spielvogel's overview of world history explores common challenges and experiences of the human past, while identifying distinctive regional patterns over time. Some chapters focus on specific geographical regions, while others take a comparative or thematic approach, helping students link events together in a broad comparative and global framework. Historiographical subsections examine why historians differ in their interpretation of past events. Other features, including diverse primary sources, primary source analysis activities and analyses of popular films show how movies represent and misrepresent history. Paired with MindTap, students gain interactive tools, personalized study paths and instant feedback. This text is available in the following split options: "The Essential World History," 10th Edition, "Volume I: To 1800" and "Volume II: Since 1500."
