About the Book

This is Volume I of THE ESSENTIAL WORLD HISTORY, covering up to 1800 (includes chapters 1-17 of the main text). THE ESSENTIAL WORLD HISTORY presents a balanced picture of world history that pays respect to the richness and diversity of the tapestry of the human experience. Based on the Fourth Edition of Duiker and Spielvogel's comprehensive WORLD HISTORY, this critically and popularly acclaimed text balances a thorough global approach with attention to the unique character and development of civilization in divergent parts of the world. The text covers individual civilizations such as China, India, and Europe, with due attention paid to the rise of the West, and provides points of comparison between and among these civilizations. A wealth of primary documents, maps, and supplements enhance students' experience with the material. THE ESSENTIAL WORLD HISTORY is available in the following volume options: THE ESSENTIAL WORLD HISTORY, Second Edition (Chapters 1-29) ISBN: 0534627129 THE ESSENTIAL WORLD HISTORY, Volume I: To 1800, Second Edition (Contains Chapters 1-17) ISBN: 0534627137 THE ESSENTIAL WORLD HISTORY, Volume II: Since 1400, Second Edition (Contains Chapters 13-29) ISBN: 0534627145 THE ESSENTIAL WORLD HISTORY TO 1400, Second Edition (Contains Chapters 1-12) ISBN: 0534627455

Review :
"I like the book, it has a clear vision of the progress of world history and the combination of text, documents and illustrations is good. The up to date appearance of the later chapters is especially good. In fact, I haven't seen some of the documents and or text in other texts." "The author's approach is consistent throughout the text, and they have achieved their stated goal of adopting a 'global approach to world history while at the same time attempting to do justice to the distinctive character and development of individual civilizations and regions of the world.'" "The book's preface and "Themes for Understanding World History" clearly lay out the authors' vision, and the authors implement it brilliantly. Duiker and Spielvogel are to be commended for their concise, crisp style and their honest interpretation of evidence. Duiker and Spielvogel have an innovative and original approach to world history, and the way they portray the gradual shift from isolated societies to a global society works extremely well." "In looking through the text, itas clear that the authors and publishers went all-out to give students as broad an exposure to the world as they possibly could, to present the material attractively, and to provide a wide array of useful study aids and supplementary material. I am particularly impressed by the unusually large amount of space devoted to non-Western subjects, particularly as compared with other texts (as above) with which I am familiar. ...This particular text comes as close to my ideal as any I have encountered, so I most likely will seriously consider adopting it when a new edition comes out." "The authoras approach is consistent throughout the text, and they have achieved their stated goal of adopting a aglobal approach to world history while at the same time attempting to do justice to the distinctive character and development of individual civilizations and regions of the world.a" "The bookas preface and "Themes for Understanding World History" clearly lay out the authorsa vision, and the authors implement it brilliantly.

"I was impressed by the way the text had been slimmed down. If we could work out a three-semester split, the slimmed own version would give us the ability to use more outside readings, something we like to do. The primary source documents are quite relevant to the text in this edition and I liked them." "In looking through the text, it's clear that the authors and publishers went all-out to give students as broad an exposure to the world as they possibly could, to present the material attractively, and to provide a wide array of useful study aids and supplementary material.
