Description

The Human Journey offers a truly concise yet satisfyingly full history of the world from ancient times to the present. The book&rsquo;s scope, as the title implies, is the whole story of humanity, in planetary context. Its themes include not only the great questions of the humanities&mdash;nature versus nurture, the history and meaning of human variation, the sources of wealth and causes of revolution&mdash;but also the major transformations in human history: agriculture, cities, iron, writing, universal religions, global trade, industrialization, popular government, justice, and equality. <br><br>In each conceptually rich chapter, Kevin Reilly concentrates on a single important period and theme, sustaining a focused narrative and analytical perspective. Free of either a confined, limiting focus or a mandatory laundry list of topics, this book begins with our most important questions and searches all of our past for answers. Well-grounded in the latest scholarship, this is not a fill-in-the-blanks text, but world history in a grand humanistic tradition. <br><br>An instructor&rsquo;s manual includes questions for classroom discussion, substance exam questions, evaluative questions, critical thinking questions, and multiple choice questions, also available in a test-bank format.
