Exploring World History through Geography: From the Cradle of
Civilization to a Globalized World takes readers on a fascinating
and unique journey through time from many of the earliest world
civilizations right into the 21st century. From the early
civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia to our present-day globalized
society, readers will learn how humans interacted-and still
interact-with the environment around them, as well as the
environment's role in not only shaping the society's world view but
enabling the building of socially stratified and successful
civilizations. Not your run-of-the-mill world history tome, this
book examines world history through the closely related discipline
of geography. The civilizations and events represented in the book,
while not exhaustive, were selected to highlight geographic themes
and areas of study. Upon completing the book, readers should have a
firm understanding of the expansive, cross-curricular study of
geography-from the study of world cultures and history to politics
to the environment and Earth's physical processes. In addition,
they will have a new understanding of the relevance of geography to
not only human history but contemporary events, as well as their
day-to-day lives. By presenting this history from a slightly
different, geographic point of view, Exploring World History
through Geography will inspire fresh curiosity in the world, both
past and present. Provides readers with a unique view of world
history and modern events by exploring how geography has impacted
civilizations Explores geography concepts using real-world examples
from world history and contemporary society Supports modern
educational initiatives of teaching with primary sources, making
evidence-based arguments, and establishing cross-curricular
connections Inspires curiosity in readers by looking at history and
the world in new and interesting ways
