Features
The Value Edition provides a high-quality text at an affordable price. For an enjoyable reading experience in print, the Value Edition provides a two-color, trade-size text featuring the unabridged narrative and select images and maps. And online in LaunchPad it includes much more—the abundant full-color maps, images, and features from the full-sized text enrich the narrative and a wealth of assignment and assessment tools allow instructors to foster and measure the learning outcomes they wish to emphasize in their courses. With the Value Edition, students and instructors will get all of the history they need at a price they can afford.
The thematic, comparative, and genuinely global narrative focuses on the big pictures of World History. Brief by design, the narrative avoids the overwhelming detail of many textbooks and emphasizes major developments and the larger contexts in which these developments took place. Broad themes include global commerce, the emergence of major religious traditions, industrialization, the rise and fall of totalitarian systems, technological innovations, and human impact on the environment. Part-opening essays set the stage for the chapters that follow and encourage students to make connections among the world's cultures.
A variety of learning tools help students focus.
- Part-opening Big Picture essays preview the major developments that are covered in subsequent chapters.
- Seeking the Main Point questions help students focus on the main themes.
- Practicing Historical Thinking questions invite students to reflect on what they have learned to that point in the chapter.
- Guided Reading Questions in the margins emphasize "comparison," "connection," and "change."
- Chapter-ending Big Picture questions encourage student synthesis of the material.
A thoughtful and reflective approach to the global past challenges the idea that history is static and the textbook is a definitive account. Robert W. Strayer, a pioneer in the field of world history, and Eric W. Nelson, an innovative teacher, muse on the multiple meanings of history and the historian's craft. Students experience first-hand the process of reading historical evidence and making historical arguments.
- At the end of each chapter, a short Reflections section raises provocative, sometimes speculative, questions about the craft of the historian and the unfolding of the human story.
- New Controversies sections highlight debates about key historical issues: the beginnings of history, the origins of major religious traditions, the nature of empires, the idea of the Atlantic World, the Industrial Revolution, and the concept of globalization.
An affordable text that’s easy to supplement. Ways of the World offers a host of attractive packaging options. Achieve Read & Practice, LaunchPad, and the companion reader can be packaged for FREE and titles from the Bedford Series in History and Culture can be packaged at a significant discount.
LearningCurve ensures students come to class prepared. Tired of your students not reading the textbook? Would you like to know what they read and how much they understood—BEFORE they come to class? Assign LearningCurve, the adaptive learning tool created for your survey textbook in Achieve Read & Practice and LaunchPad, and the system’s analytics will show how your students are doing with the reading so that you can adapt your class as needed.

Over 90% of students report satisfaction with LearningCurve’s fun and accessible game-like interface. LearningCurve appeals to students so that they engage with the textbook, and it helps you to know what they know before class begins.
Achieve Read & Practice helps your students succeed. Free when packaged with the book, Achieve Read & Practice is the marriage of our LearningCurve adaptive quizzing and our mobile, accessible e-book, in one easy-to-use and affordable product. Read & Practice is easy for students and instructors to use and the LearningCurve quizzing within gives students a fun way to test their understanding of the reading. When Read & Practice is assigned, students come to class having read the materials and their course performance improves.
A range of options offers convenience and value. In addition to the standard bound textbook, this edition is also available in convenient, discount-priced loose-leaf and e-book formats, as well as the most affordable and easiest-to-use interactive e-book option, Achieve Read & Practice, which pairs the mobile and accessible Value edition e-book with the adaptive quizzing of LearningCurve. For an interactive e-book with additional assignments and a wealth of primary and secondary sources, LaunchPad combines the e-book for the full-color comprehensive edition of the text with LearningCurve adaptive quizzing and a rich set of integrated study resources. Both Achieve Read & Practice and LaunchPad are available for free when packaged with any print version of the textbook.
New to This Edition
New Controversies sections convey world history as a frequently contested conversation. Provided in one chapter in each of the book’s six parts, these essays highlight debates about key historical issues: the beginnings of history, the origins of major religious traditions, the nature of empires, the idea of the Atlantic World, the Industrial Revolution, and the concept of globalization. These essays help dispel the idea that any account of the past is truly definitive and instead promote the notion of history texts as works in progress that can be challenged.
A thoroughly revised Part 6 provides a global framework for the last century. The four chapters in Part 6 now treat the past century in truly global terms, moving beyond a Cold War framework organized to consider the western capitalist world, the communist world, and the Third World of developing countries. Chapters 20 and 21 examine milestone events such as the world wars, revolutions, the Cold War, decolonization, the demise of communism, and much more, and then Chapters 22 and 23 look at the major processes underlying these milestone events. Chapter 22 examines how the acceleration of technological innovation has been driver of a deeply interconnected world economy and of pervasive social change. Chapter 23 then spotlights the explosive growth of human population, global migration, cultural transformations, and the enormous impact of human activity on the world’s environment.
Achieve Read & Practice puts the most affordable and easy-to-use e-book with built-in assessment into student hands, wherever they go. Available for the first time with this edition, Achieve Read & Practice’s interactive e-book, adaptive quizzing, and grade-book is built with an intuitive interface that can be read on mobile devices, and is fully accessible and available at a discounted price so anyone can use it. It comes pre-loaded with LearningCurve adaptive quizzing, which, when assigned, ensures students come to class prepared. Instructors can set due dates for reading assignments and LearningCurve quizzes in just a few clicks, making it an effective option for a simple and affordable way to engage students with the narrative.
"Ways of the World has been an amazing resource for me as I teach the world history course for the first time."
--Julia Gaffield, Georgia State University"Ways of the World is an excellent, engaging textbook for the world history course. In addition, the book incorporates the history of women as extensively and seamlessly as any general textbook I have seen."
--Gregory T Cushman, University of Kansas"Ways of the World provides a readable and engaging historical narrative supplemented by readily available primary sources. And in LaunchPad, students benefit from LearningCurve, which directs them to specific page numbers if they get stuck, and from map quizzes that connect historical geography to the narrative. These functions save me time because they are auto-graded."
--Kathryn Johnson, Northern Michigan University"The authors set the stage for students to study broad historical topics and, through questions in the margins, guide students to read and think critically about the past. The ‘Working with Evidence’ sections at the end of each chapter offer excerpts that are easily incorporated into classroom discussions."
--Rebecca Seaman, Elizabeth City State University"This is the best textbook for world history. It is informed by arguments and approaches of world historians. It covers major developments in world history and focuses on a few themes, providing some evidence for each from different parts of the world. It does not cover every place and time, which makes it relatively short and accessible. The sources are excellent, with clear introductions and questions that help students connect them to the chapter."
--Elizabeth Campbell, Daemen College"Ways of the World balances content coverage with illuminating and memorable detail better than others I have seen or used. I like the editable quizzes and especially LearningCurve. Some students tell me it was vital to cementing their learning."
--Dean Pavlakis, Carroll College"Ways of the World strikes a good balance between providing the necessary facts of world history with broader ideas and concepts."
--Erin O’Donnell, East Stroudsburg University"Ways of the World is cutting edge in terms of the secondary literature it draws upon. However, the authors manage to make this literature accessible and, in the process, introduce students to some of the key historical questions animating historians today."
--Djene Bajalan, Missouri State University
