Synopsis: Noted teachers and scholars William J. Duiker and Jackson J. Spielvogel present a balanced picture of world history, with all respect for the richness and diversity of the tapestry of the human experience. Critically and popularly acclaimed, their comprehensive text balances a global approach with attention to the unique character and development of civilization in divergent parts of the world. The text covers individual civilizations such as China, India, and Europe, with due attention paid to the rise of the West, and provides points of comparison between and among these civilizations. Plus, this extensively revised edition features a more comparative approach, several consolidated chapters, illuminating "spot" maps, a wealth of primary-source documents, maps, and supplements enhance students' experience with the material.
