A textbook of primary sources of key events in history that have
altered the past While world history materials date back to
prehistoric times, the field itself is relatively young. Indeed,
when the first edition of Peter Stearns's best-selling World
History in Documents was published in 1998, world history was
poised for explosive growth, with the College Board approving the
AP world history curriculum in 2000, and the exam shortly
thereafter. At the university level, survey world history courses
are increasingly required for history majors, and graduate programs
in world history are multiplying in the U.S. and overseas. World
events have changed as rapidly as the field of world history
itself, making the long-awaited second edition of World History in
Documents especially timely. In addition to including a new
preface, focusing on current trends in the field, Stearns has
updated forty percent of the textbook, paying particular attention
to global processes throughout history. The book also covers key
events that have altered world history since the publication of the
first edition, including terrorism, global consumerism, and
environmental issues.
