Based on Bentley and Ziegler's best-selling; comprehensive survey text; Traditions Encounters: A Brief Global History provides a streamlined account of the cultures and interactions that have shaped world history. An effective part structure organizes developments into seven eras of global history; putting events into perspective and creating a framework for cross-cultural comparisons; while the strong themes of traditions (the formations and development of the world's major societies) and encounters (cross-cultural interactions and exchanges) bring focus to the human experience and help turn the giant story of world history into something more manageable. With an engaging narrative; visual appeal; extended pedagogy; and a strong emphasis on critical thinking; this concise version offers enhanced flexibility and affordability without sacrificing the features that have made the complete text a favorite among instructors and students alike.
