WHAT ARE
THE HIDDEN stories and communities left out of
conventional history textbooks? The No-Nonsense
Guide to World History is a broad trip through
time, across continents, and among cultures. It
allows readers a big-picture view of history, and
in so doing, points out the interconnections in our
past and the contexts for familiar historical
narratives. This new, revised edition includes a
section on how the key issues of the twenty-first
century--climate change, 9/11, the war in Iraq,
corporate power, China's rapid growth--fit into the
broader patterns of world
history.
