Opis

Bulliet/Crossley/Headrick/Hirsch/Johnson/Northrup's THE EARTH AND ITS PEOPLES: A GLOBAL HISTORY, 8th EDITION, presents world history in a balanced, global framework, shifting the focus away from political centers of power and toward the living conditions and activities of ordinary people. This truly global world history book employs a fundamental theme -- the interaction of human beings and the environment -- to compare different times, places and societies. Special emphasis is given to technology (in its broadest sense) and how technological development underlies all human activity. A new feature called "Daily Life" in each chapter is designed to help students see connections between their everyday experiences and the customs and technologies of the past.
