The Human Record: Sources of Global History Volume II: Since 1500

by Alfred J. Andrea, James H. Overfield

Unlike some other world history texts that center on the West, The Human Record provides balanced coverage of the global past. The book features both written and artifactual sources that are placed in their full historical contexts through introductory essays, footnotes, and focus questions. The text sheds light on the experiences of women and non-elite groups while maintaining overall balance and a focus on the major patterns of global historical developments through the ages.

[Terri Lynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an outstanding book of articles and primary documents from the historical period from 1500 to the present. It is used as a textbook in world history classes but makes for interesting reading for any history lover.

Love history books that focus more on the history than the dates! I really got some interesting grips on what was going on everywhere thanks to this book and an AWESOME history teacher!!
