The Earth and Its Peoples: A Global History 8th Edition

With its combination of strong scholarship and detailed pedagogy, the updated Bulliet/Crossley/Headrick/Hirsch/Johnson/Northrup’s THE EARTH AND ITS PEOPLES: A GLOBAL HISTORY, 8th EDITION, presents world history in a balanced, global framework, shifting the focus away from political centers of power and toward the living conditions and activities of ordinary people. This edition continues a feature titled”Daily Life” that is designed to resonate with the everyday experiences of today?s students. This global text for the world history survey course employs fundamental themes of”environment and technology” and”diversity and dominance” to explore patterns of humans’ interactions with their surroundings and each other. The authors’ approach reveals how humanity shapes and is shaped by the environment, and how dominant structures and traditions are balanced and challenged by alternate beliefs. Technological development and how it underlies all human activity receives special emphasis. The Earth and Its Peoples: A Global History 8th Edition is written by Richard Bulliet; Pamela Crossley and published by Cengage Learning.
