Summary:

This best-selling, classic exploration of world history takes an interdisciplinary global (rather than a regional or national) approach-tracing those major forces, movements, and events that have had a world-wide impact. It stresses connections between the past, present and future, emphasizing the question "What does it mean for us today?" The "Seventh Edition" > reevaluates the course of human history with an eye toward the millennium, reflecting in its coverage the end of the cold war and the dawning possibilities for a new type of global history.
