Book Description
This groundbreaking world history text offers a fresh approach that takes the global nature of its subject seriously by exploring networks of interaction from the earliest times to the present. By examining the world as a whole and focusing on the links and interactions that have always existed among societies, it presents an alternative to Eurocentric history. For this reason, world history instructors have long been anticipating its arrival. The wait has finally ended.

Reviews


If you love history
If you love history, this is the book for you! Goes over everything in DEEP detail!!! This is a COLLEGE book so it's definitely hard to read and understand but you will definitely enjoy it!

Boycott this book
This is an OK book, but unfortunately Bentley's predatory practice of reorganizing the same information or renumbering the chapters every year or so keeps students buying the expensive paperback, selling it back for far less to bookstores which then cannot sell it. The contents of the book are indistinguishable from other editions; you don't need the newest one.

If you need this book for a class, buy a used one and refuse to support Bentley's intellectual laziness.


Awesome book!
We order a used version of this book and are amazed by how good of condition it came in and all! It was great and a personal note was included in the box which made it all the better!
