The World: A History, Volume 2

The World: A History, Volume 2, 3rd Edition, is a textbook written by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto for courses in world history. The narrative traces human experiences from the origins of civilization to the present.

Coverage centers on two enduring stories: human interactions with nature and the ways people relate to one another. These twin themes provide a framework for exploring how communities developed and connected across global history.

To aid historical study, the volume integrates a comprehensive map program designed to help students visualize links between peoples and events while thinking critically about historical topics.
