The Webs of Humankind: A World History

By J.R. McNeill and John Robert McNeill

Book Overview

A leader in the field presents a cohesive narrative of world history that effectively addresses the main challenge of the introductory survey: how to navigate beginning students through the vast detail of the subject. McNeill uses connective webs--along which trade, religious beliefs, technologies, pathogens, and much else traveled--to organize details and keep the big picture in view. Instructors have hailed McNeill's approach as "integrative" and "accessible," and students call the book "easy-to-absorb" and "fun to read." In a portable and affordable Seagull edition, with digital resources that amplify the webs approach and highlight diverse types of evidence, John McNeill's The Webs of Humankind offers a clear and effective teaching tool for the world history survey course and the best value for students.
