Civilizations Past and Present, Volume 1, 13th Edition, is a textbook designed to survey world history by presenting civilization as a global phenomenon driven by cultural interaction.
The volume explores early communities across the Near East, Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas, highlighting interconnected social and political developments up through the early modern era.
Intended for world history courses, the 2020 release was revised to present a more concise treatment of world trends without framing them within a Western conceptual model.
