SmartBook for Traditions & Encounters: A Global Perspective on the Past

Description

To make the giant story of world history more manageable, this well-loved text is underscored by twin themes: traditions (the formations and development of the world’s major societies) and encounters (cross-cultural interactions and exchanges). This fifth edition of Traditions & Encounters: A Global Perspective on the Past features redesigned maps, new primary sources, and new section-level features that strengthen your understanding of the connections between those two main ideas.
