World History: Continuity and Change
by William Travis Hanes Holt Rinehart Winston StaffWorld History: Continuity and Change presents historical information from the perspective of three key ideas fundamental to human history throughout the world. These ideas provide a basis for analyzing and evaluating past events. The first key idea is that civilization resulted from individual and group efforts to survive by adapting to the physical environment, adopting new behaviors if necessary as the environment itself changed. The second key idea is that as self-aware beings, humans try to ensure not only their physical well-being but also their emotional and spiritual well-being. The third key idea is that the more flexible human beings are in responding to changing circumstances, the more likely they are to survive.
