A History of World Societies is as good as you will find on the market today. It has an admirable balance of breadth vs. depth and regional vs. global coverage. It is concise enough that students will read it but there is still enough coverage for a survey class.

A History of World Societies is a well-rounded and comprehensive approach to world history. The regional approach allows the student to digest this seemingly gargantuan subject rather easily as it is separated into easily understood and straightforward sections. I would recommend this textbook to any world history instructor because it is organized and written in a way that promotes student success.

A History of World Societies compares people, religions, and governing structures from all around the world in a sensitive and insightful way. It distinguishes itself in its accessibility to students with the goal of helping them build a framework to better understand the world.
