Description:
Featuring a beautiful new design, THE EARTH AND ITS PEOPLES, Sixth Edition,
presents world history in a balanced, global framework, shifting the focus away
from political centers of power. This truly global world history book employs a
fundamental theme-the interaction of human beings and the environment-to
compare different times, places, and societies. Special emphasis is given to
technology (in its broadest sense) and how technological development underlies
all human activity.
