Worlds Together, Worlds Apart: A History of the World, Volume B 600 to 1850

by Robert L. Tignor, Jeremy Adelman, Stephen Aron

In this second edition, the book's non-Eurocentric approach continues with expansions of the original eleven world history "turning point" stories from the modern period to include ten more "turning point" stories from the earlier periods of world history. From the history of the world's first cities built on the great rivers of Afro-Eurasia, to the formation of the Silk Road, to the rise of nation-states, and the story of modern globalization, Worlds Together, Worlds Apart provides students with the stories that changed history and enables them to make the connections they need in order to better understand how the world came to be what it is today.

This is one of the better History books I have read. The author uses clear language and doesn't try to sound smart by throwing in all the higher level jargon. The book contains great insights into world history and great details that I never knew before. Well done.
