The latest research on social history and women's history is integrated, rather than isolated in separate chapters. For this sixth edition, Spielvogel (Pennsylvania State University) adds material reflecting current scholarship on everything from the Neolithic Age to the war in Iraq, and including considerable new material on the impact other parts of the world have had on the West. Pedagogical features include boxes of primary source documents, detailed chronologies, illustrated timelines, chapter outlines, critical thinking questions, and a glossary. The text's updated color maps feature detailed captions. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
World Civilizations
by Peter N. Stearns and Michael Adas and Stuart B. Schwartz and Marc Jason GilbertDesigned for introductory-level survey courses in World History. The primary goal of "World Civilizations" is to present a truly global history--from the development of agriculture and herding to the present. Using a unique periodization, this book divides the main periods of human history according to changes in the nature and extent of global contacts.
This global world history text emphasizes the major stages in the interactions among different peoples and societies, while at the same time assessing the development of major societies. Encompassing social and cultural as well as political and economic history, the book examines key civilizations in world history.
"World Civilizations" balances this discussion of independent developments in the world's major civilizations with comparative analysis of the results of global contact.

Writing America
by David A. Jolliffe and Hephzibah RoskellyWe have designed Writing America: Language and Composition in Context AP* Edition so that it can be used as the foundational text in a course that emphasizes reading, writing, and analyzing texts. Writing America teaches reading as a dynamic, interactive process. It teaches writing as a craft, related to reading, that produces rich, purposeful, well-planned and well-executed texts. It teaches the structure and organization of texts, at the level of both the whole text and the sentence. It couches this instruction in an examination of vitally important works of American literature, art, and culture, accompanied by a study of contemporary pieces that unpack current thinking on the issues and themes raised by the historical works.
