More robust options for building historical thinking skills and measuring progress toward learning outcomes.
- Achieve, Macmillan Learning’s innovative new learning platform, pairs creative new teaching and assessment options with powerful insights into student work, so instructors can do more. Achieve comes loaded with the full-color e-book, the companion source reader, and abundant formative and summative assessments which are all tagged to learning objectives that are aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy. Drawing on principles of instructional design and popular assignments, Achieve provides customizable pre-built course options and resource filters that help instructors set up their courses with ease, and these courses can be integrated with all major LMS systems. Assignments and activities in Achieve include:
- LearningCurve adaptive quizzing, which is designed to get students to read the text before class;
- reflection activities that invite students to reflect on what they have read in each chapter;
- instructor activity guides that instructors can use in class for either remote or in-person collaborative learning;
- source and feature quizzes;
- research and writing tutorials;
- map quizzes; and
- Building a Historical Argument activities, which enable students to hone their skills in constructing a thesis, identifying evidence to sustain historical arguments, and writing conclusions.
- Robust reports in Achieve give instructors multi-level insights into student progress toward meeting learning objectives as well as how they have progressed on assignments so instructors can give students support where they need it most. Available with training and support, Achieve can help you take your teaching to a new level.
- New primary and secondary sources give fresh options for helping students hone their historical comprehension, empathy, analysis, and interpretation skills. In Chapter 8, the new Working with Evidence feature, "Society during China’s Golden Age," explores the complex social world in Tang and Song China. Likewise, a new "Cultural Encounters in Muslim Spain" feature in Chapter 9 explores the long period of cultural interaction between Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Spain from the eighth century to the sixteenth century. And Chapter 14’s new primary source feature, "Consumption and Culture in the Early Modern World," examines the cultural implications of consumption during the several centuries after 1500, using clothing, tea, porcelain, and coffee as examples. Finally, the new Working with Evidence feature entitled "The Socialist Vision and Its Enemies" in Chapter 17 incorporates documents that illustrate some of the ways that socialism was expressed and contested as it took root in modern Europe. Three new Historians’ Voices illustrate diverse views on China’s economy (Chapter 8), on religious tolerance in Muslim Spain (Chapter 9), and on consumer culture in the early modern world (Chapter 14).
- Thoroughly revised questions accompanying the narrative further students’ critical thinking about history. These questions ask students to actively describe and compare historical developments, contrast civilizations, connect regions and ideas, assess patterns of continuity and change, and more. The most essential of these questions, labeled "Core Ideas," are presented again in the concluding chapter review in the "Revisiting Core Ideas" section.
New "Then and Now" features promote the skill of connecting with the past. Offered once in each part of the book, these essays examine a particular theme in both historical and contemporary settings. Themes include patriarchy, slavery, science, China’s role on the global stage, and more. The skill of connecting with the past is reinforced at the beginning of each chapter through updated vignettes called Connecting Past and Present that illustrate the continuing relevance of the chapter’s material in today’s world.
Narrative updates incorporate the latest scholarship on early humans, environment and disease, the spread of Islam in the Indian Ocean World, and modern science. Updates include:
- Chapter 1: Revised coverage reflecting new dating for the first emergence of Homo sapiens, new evidence of early failed migrations out of Africa and interactions with other hominid species, new thinking on migration into the Americas, new discoveries of cave paintings in Indonesia and bone flutes in Germany, updated coverage of the practice of slavery among gatherers and hunters in Alaska, new evidence of the fragility of many early agricultural communities, and updated population estimates for the Neolithic period.
- Chapter 2: Updated coverage of First Civilizations incorporating new archeological evidence of early trade patterns and recent revisions in the dating of the Indus Valley, Chinese, Oxus, and Nubian civilizations.
- Part 2 opening: New exploration of the reasons for the collapse of First Civilizations, with special emphasis on climate change, environmental degradation, and migrations.
- Chapter 7: Revised discussion of the arrival of Islam in Southeast Asia with expanded coverage of Melaka.
- Chapter 9: New section on Islam’s spread in southern India, especially in the Hindu Vijayanagar empire.
- Chapter 11: Expanded analysis of the long-term impact of the plague on European society, especially the shift toward laborsaving technologies and the revival of slavery in Europe.

- Chapter 15: Updated coverage on earlier Chinese and Islamic influences on European science and how the vast flow of knowledge from across the globe impacted the Scientific Revolution in Europe.
- Chapter 17: New exploration of the links between the Industrial Revolution and our current climate crisis.

Product Updates
More robust options for building historical thinking skills and measuring progress toward learning outcomes.
- Achieve, Macmillan Learning’s innovative new learning platform, pairs creative new teaching and assessment options with powerful insights into student work, so instructors can do more. Achieve comes loaded with the full-color e-book, the companion source reader, and abundant formative and summative assessments which are all tagged to learning objectives that are aligned with Bloom’s Taxonomy. Drawing on principles of instructional design and popular assignments, Achieve provides customizable pre-built course options and resource filters that help instructors set up their courses with ease, and these courses can be integrated with all major LMS systems. Assignments and activities in Achieve include:
- LearningCurve adaptive quizzing, which is designed to get students to read the text before class;
- reflection activities that invite students to reflect on what they have read in each chapter;
- instructor activity guides that instructors can use in class for either remote or in-person collaborative learning;
- source and feature quizzes;
- research and writing tutorials;
- map quizzes; and
- Building a Historical Argument activities, which enable students to hone their skills in constructing a thesis, identifying evidence to sustain historical arguments, and writing conclusions.
- Robust reports in Achieve give instructors multi-level insights into student progress toward meeting learning objectives as well as how they have progressed on assignments so instructors can give students support where they need it most. Available with training and support, Achieve can help you take your teaching to a new level.
- New primary and secondary sources give fresh options for helping students hone their historical comprehension, empathy, analysis, and interpretation skills. In Chapter 8, the new Working with Evidence feature, "Society during China’s Golden Age," explores the complex social world in Tang and Song China. Likewise, a new "Cultural Encounters in Muslim Spain" feature in Chapter 9 explores the long period of cultural interaction between Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Spain from the eighth century to the sixteenth century. And Chapter 14’s new primary source feature, "Consumption and Culture in the Early Modern World," examines the cultural implications of consumption during the several centuries after 1500, using clothing, tea, porcelain, and coffee as examples. Finally, the new Working with Evidence feature entitled "The Socialist Vision and Its Enemies" in Chapter 17 incorporates documents that illustrate some of the ways that socialism was expressed and contested as it took root in modern Europe. Three new Historians’ Voices illustrate diverse views on China’s economy (Chapter 8), on religious tolerance in Muslim Spain (Chapter 9), and on consumer culture in the early modern world (Chapter 14).
- Thoroughly revised questions accompanying the narrative further students’ critical thinking about history. These questions ask students to actively describe and compare historical developments, contrast civilizations, connect regions and ideas, assess patterns of continuity and change, and more. The most essential of these questions, labeled "Core Ideas," are presented again in the concluding chapter review in the "Revisiting Core Ideas" section.
New "Then and Now" features promote the skill of connecting with the past. Offered once in each part of the book, these essays examine a particular theme in both historical and contemporary settings. Themes include patriarchy, slavery, science, China’s role on the global stage, and more. The skill of connecting with the past is reinforced at the beginning of each chapter through updated vignettes called Connecting Past and Present that illustrate the continuing relevance of the chapter’s material in today’s world.
Narrative updates incorporate the latest scholarship on early humans, environment and disease, the spread of Islam in the Indian Ocean World, and modern science. Updates include:
- Chapter 1: Revised coverage reflecting new dating for the first emergence of Homo sapiens, new evidence of early failed migrations out of Africa and interactions with other hominid species, new thinking on migration into the Americas, new discoveries of cave paintings in Indonesia and bone flutes in Germany, updated coverage of the practice of slavery among gatherers and hunters in Alaska, new evidence of the fragility of many early agricultural communities, and updated population estimates for the Neolithic period.
- Chapter 2: Updated coverage of First Civilizations incorporating new archeological evidence of early trade patterns and recent revisions in the dating of the Indus Valley, Chinese, Oxus, and Nubian civilizations.
- Part 2 opening: New exploration of the reasons for the collapse of First Civilizations, with special emphasis on climate change, environmental degradation, and migrations.
- Chapter 7: Revised discussion of the arrival of Islam in Southeast Asia with expanded coverage of Melaka.
- Chapter 9: New section on Islam’s spread in southern India, especially in the Hindu Vijayanagar empire.
- Chapter 11: Expanded analysis of the long-term impact of the plague on European society, especially the shift toward laborsaving technologies and the revival of slavery in Europe.
- Chapter 13: Updated account of the Little Ice Age.
- Chapter 15: Updated coverage on earlier Chinese and Islamic influences on European science and how the vast flow of knowledge from across the globe impacted the Scientific Revolution in Europe.
- Chapter 17: New exploration of the links between the Industrial Revolution and our current climate crisis.
- Chapter 22: New coverage of how twentieth-century scientific profoundly changed our understanding of the cosmos, impacted contemporary culture, and laid the groundwork for technological innovations that have transformed modern life.

Ways of the World with Sources, Volume 2
A global narrative with built-in reader that explores broad patterns and nurtures skill development
Praised for its big picture synthesis that helps students discern patterns and variations on both global and regional levels, Ways of the World provides a brief-by-design narrative in a 2-in-1 textbook and reader format available in Achieve, Macmillan’s breakthrough complete course platform, and in print volumes. With a unique personal touch, the authors guide students to consider continuity and change over time as well as interrogate primary and secondary source evidence the way historians do. The new edition has been revised to further foster the development of historical thinking skills, with fresh formative and summative assessments only possible in Achieve. With a wealth of additional primary and secondary sources plus robust insight reports at the ready, Achieve offers the easiest way to engage students, help them build higher-level thinking skills, and tailor teaching to student needs, whether the course is taught online or in person. Achieve can be adopted on its own or in a package with the print book.
