The World: A History, Volume 1

The World: A History, Volume 1, 3rd Edition, written by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto and published by Pearson, is a textbook designed for world history courses. The volume structures historical inquiry around an integrated global narrative to help students see the whole story.

The text interweaves two central themes: human interactions with the natural environment and interactions among human communities. By following these threads from the origins of civilization onward, the narrative traces historical change through interconnected developments.

A comprehensive map program supports the text, helping learners examine geographic connections among different peoples and think critically about topics of varying scale.
