Description:
World History: Journeys from Past to Present uses common themes to present an integrated and comprehensive survey of human history from its origins to the present day. By weaving together thematic and regional perspectives in coherent chronological narratives, Goucher and Walton transform the overwhelming sweep of the human past into a truly global story that is relevant to the contemporary issues of our time.

PART 4. BRIDGING WORLDS (1300-1800 CE)
PART 5. TRANSFORMING LIVES (1500-1900)
PART 6. FORGING A GLOBAL COMMUNITY (1800- Present)
Review Quotes:
"Authors Candace Goucher and Linda Walton have come up with a concise readable narrative of world history from 1300 CE to the present that works well for a survey course... A good comprehensive narrative history replete with good maps and a writing style that draws students in and makes the study of world history relevant." -Joseph Stoll, Teaching History
