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

by Alfred J. Andrea, James H. Overfield

THE HUMAN RECORD is the leading primary source reader for the World History course, providing balanced coverage of the global past. Each volume contains a blend of visual and textual sources which are often paired or grouped together for comparison. A prologue entitled "Primary Sources and How to Read Them" appears in each volume and provides background and guidance for analyzing sources such as those in the text. Approximately one-third of the sources in the Seventh Edition are new, and these documents continue to reflect the myriad experiences of the peoples of the world.

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!!
