More DescriptionWorld history has no shortage of fascinating incidents and episodes. From fighting great wars to fighting for social justice, the greatest trials and triumphs of humanity are fully on display. Readers engage with a wide range of historical topics through meticulously researched main text, annotated quotes, primary sources, and interesting sidebars. From the distant past of the Scientific Revolution to the cutting-edge technology of digital piracy, readers are guided through accounts of global events and social movements by detailed photographs and expert testimony and analysis. Features include: Differing perspectives offer readers the chance to see every side of a historical moment, showing that there is rarely a simple distinction between "good" and "bad." Extensive timelines illuminate the context of important world events, which contributes to a robust understanding of each topic. Topics were carefully selected to show readers how historical periods relate to current events, such as refugee crises, the global fight for women's rights, and the current "Golden Age" of television.
