This new volume examines the processes of cultural exchange as they
occurred in 'empire building, ' looking at Early Mesopotamia,
Africa, Greece, Japan, India, the Arab world, and empires in other
parts of the globe. The articles draw upon a variety of disciplines
from the social sciences and the humanities, a feature not often
found in other readers. Unlike other books on world civilizations,
this text strives to develop a consistent theme as it focuses on
the manner in which imperial authority and cultural interaction
worked through different bureaucracies in various empires. The
articles also help students understand the cross-cultural
interactions and historical events that have laid the foundation
for our modern global society.
This book also contains useful maps and supplements consisting
of images to assist students in visualizing and understanding the
textual material. This new text is ideal for courses in world
history prior to 1650.
