"This is History Book. It explored the grand scheme of world history as a product of real-life human beings pursuing their individual and collective interests. It also offered a global perspective on the past by focusing on both the distinctive characteristics ofindividual societies and the connections that have linked the fortunes of diff erent societies. It has combined a clear chronological framework with the twin themes of traditions and encounters, which help to make the unwieldy story of world history both more manageable and more engaging. From the beginning, Traditions & Encounters off ered an inclusive vision of the global past-one that is meaningful and appropriate for the interdependent world of contemporary times"--
