VOYAGES IN WORLD HISTORY, BRIEF EDITION, masterfully uses the theme of movement−the journeys of peoples, ideas, and goods−to help you make sense of the huge range of people, places, and events throughout history. Each chapter is framed around the story of a person who traveled within the time period and region under discussion. You will learn to be a critical reader by evaluating the traveler’s observations and attitudes. A primary source feature, “Movement of Ideas,” helps you learn how to analyze sources by allowing you to compare multiple explanations of significant ideas.
