Description
Developed to meet the demand for a low-cost, high-quality history book, CENGAGE ADVANTAGE BOOKS: THE EARTH AND ITS PEOPLES, Sixth Edition, is an economically priced, two-color version of the THE EARTH AND ITS PEOPLES, Sixth Edition. It includes the complete core narrative, but has fewer maps, photos, and boxed features for a manageable length in a smaller trim size for easy portability. Written for the world history survey course, the text presents the subject matter in a balanced, global framework, shifting the focus away from political centers of power. The authors employ fundamental themes of “environment and technology” and “diversity and dominance” to explore patterns of humans' interactions with their surroundings and with each other. This approach reveals how humanity continues to shape and be shaped by the environment and how dominant structures and traditions are balanced and challenged by alternate beliefs. Special emphasis is given to technological development and how it underlies all human activity. Available in the following split options: CENGAGE ADVANTAGE BOOKS: THE EARTH AND ITS PEOPLES, Sixth Edition (Chapters 1-33), ISBN: 978-1-285-44563-2; Volume I: To 1550, Sixth Edition (Chapters 1-16), ISBN: 978-1-285-44567-0; Volume II: Since 1500, Sixth Edition (Chapters 16-33), ISBN: 978-1-285-44570-0.
