About this product
THE HUMAN RECORD is the leading primary source reader for the World History course, providing balanced coverage of the global past. Each volume contains a blend of visual and textual sources that are often paired or grouped together for comparison, as in the Multiple Voices feature. A prologue entitled “Primary Sources and How to Read Them” appears in each volume and serves as a valuable pedagogical tool. Approximately one-third of the sources in the Eighth Edition are new, and these documents continue to reflect the myriad experiences of the peoples of the world.
This number one world history reader is known for the selection of unique sources, the quality of its source introductions, the Prologue on how to read primary sources, and the Multiple Voices feature that employs the use of comparative documents.
The authors are well known in their field, in part through participation in the World History Association, for which Al Andrea has served on the Executive Committee.
A Multiple Voices feature in each part illustrates one of the following: multiple viewpoints on a common event or phenomenon, multiple sources that demonstrate changes over time, or multiple perspectives from different cultures on a common issue.
The prologue, “Primary Sources and How to Read Them,” outlines a process for the reading and analysis of the sources in the text.
