The signature focus on social and cultural history and a readable, accessible narrative brings history to life for students. A History of World Societies uses vibrant social history to introduce students to the global past. The time-tested regional organization with global reach acquaints students with different parts of the world and helps them understand global connections.
Special features and a wealth of primary sources introduce students to historical interpretation. Students connect to the past through approximately 300 written and visual primary sources in the document features "Analyze Visual Evidence," "Analyze Written Evidence," "Compare Viewpoints," and "Think like a Historian." "Individuals in Society" biographical portraits highlight the lives of both elite and common people, and further the books attention to social and cultural developments while reflecting growing interest in micro-history. In addition, Sources of World Societies, the companion reader, offers approximately five additional primary documents per chapter. These engaging features and sources are fully assignable and assessable in Achieve.
Rich pedagogical support keeps students focused and builds historical thinking skills. Section focus questions and marginal key term definitions help students keep the main ideas and terms in mind as they read, "Map the Past" activities promote geographic literacy, and "Make Connections" concluding essays tie the chapter to related discussions elsewhere in the book and help students take a broad look at continuity and change.
The most current scholarship shows students the dynamic and ongoing work of history. Drawing on their own research and that of numerous experts, renowned scholars and veteran teachers Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks, Patricia

New thematic emphasis on environmental history. We have added a new emphasis on the environment to the social and cultural focus, comprehensive regional organization, and global perspective that have long been its hallmarks. This threads through the entire book, from Chapter 1’s discussion of how the environment shaped human migration and settlement in the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras, to Chapter 33’s analysis of how global energy production and consumption have resulted in the climate change we experience today.
Narrative updates to incorporate the latest scholarship. Along with the addition of material on the environment and science-based evidence throughout, updates to the twelfth edition include: a revised section on human evolution (Chapter 1); a significant chapter revision, including more on the actual practices of Islam (Chapter 9); revision of the section on the Black Death to incorporate new scholarship (Chapter 14); expanded coverage of the Indian Ocean trade and new section on ideas about race (Chapter 16); more thorough discussion of the "Little Ice Age"(Chapter 18); new material on ocean fishing and whaling (Chapter 20); new section exploring human rights and liberation movements (Chapter 32).
Reversed order of Chapters 12 and 13. Our own teaching and discussion with colleagues led us to reverse the order of Chapters 12 and 13. To fit better with the more common course organization, Chapter 12 ("States and Cultures in East Asia 800–1400") is now followed by Chapter 13 ("Cultural Exchange in Central and Southern Asia 300–1400").
"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."
— Thomas Doumaux, Pitt Community College
"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."
— Brian C. Johnson, Kilgore College
"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."
— Lise Namikas, Baton Rouge Community College
