Exchanges: A Global History Reader, Volume 2 [Paperback]

• Addresses a hunger among students to understand the historical roots of the world around them as well as their own individual and collective heritage.
• Invites students to see the world around them not as the end of history but as part of an unguided, ongoing global human experience.
• Challenges students to investigate the flow of people, things, and ideas between societies.
• Each part revolves around a global inquiry investigated and debated by world historians, defined partly by chronology but also by topic.
• Each chapter highlights an issue or an approach and is comprised of both primary and secondary sources, matched to each other in an opposing, supporting, and/or evidentiary relationship.
• Part introductions and conclusions, chapter introductions, and reading introductions--all written for this reader by the editors--provide crucial background on the issues discussed, allowing students to gain the most from each of the readings.
• Mastering the Material questions at the end of each chapter help students analyze, evaluate, and compare the sources.
• Making Connections questions at the end of each chapter ask students to connect sources both across chapters and across parts. 
• Further Readings at the conclusion of each part offer students commentary on additional resources for further exploration of the topics addressed in the part.
