Items related to Complete Text (chs.1-35) (The Earth and Its Peoples:...
The Earth and Its Peoples is a truly global text that employs a fundamental theme, the interaction of human beings and the environment, as a point of comparison for different times, places, and societies. Special emphasis is given to technology and how technological development underlies all human activity. The text has been rewritten to improve coverage of the early Americas, Russia, the Enlightenment, the Renaissance, and the Industrial Revolution. The Second Edition is full color, which provides more effective maps and a colorful new part opener design. The part opener includes a brief narrative overview with a relief map and timeline that outline major historic events.

Review:
& quot; I find the text even more readable than the first edition. Its strengths lie in the integration of its solid foundation in economic and technological change with insightful discussions of social and cultural developments that drove these changes in the West, carried them to other societies in other regions, and generated complex responses to industrial development on a worldwide scale. To my knowledge, no other text for world history gives so much weight so wisely to economic, technological, and environmental changes as significant forces in shaping the modern era.& quot;
Synopsis:
A truly global text that employs the theme of human and environmental interaction to compare different times, places and societies. Special emphasis is put on technology in its broadest sense, and how technological development underlies all human activity.
