Global Themes in World History since 1500 provides students with a concise, thematic approach to world history with emphasis on topics and themes representative of global patterns across time. Students are challenged to embrace the idea that history, while based on primary source evidence, is also based on historians' interpretations of that evidence, and that historiography changes through time and place. The book addresses diverse topics and research areas, including the history of Africa, the African diaspora, world military history, modern Europe, the Middle East, empires and imperialism, food history, cultural history, and more. Each chapter explores key themes that reflect important transitions in world history research and writing: geography and environment; material culture; science and technology; gender and sexuality; and war, peace, and diplomacy. Throughout, students are provided with primary sources, discussion questions, images, timelines, glossary terms, and suggested additional readings and media to deepen the learning experience. An engaging, diverse, and accessible text, Global Themes in World History since 1500 is well suited to undergraduate courses in modern world history.
