  <abstract>"From the dawn of civilization to the modern dilemmas of nation building in Africa and the Middle East, Duiker/Spielvogel's WORLD HISTORY, 10th Edition, takes a fascinating look at the common challenges and experiences that unite the human past and inform the future. The text uses colorful visuals, maps and dramatic first-hand historical accounts to give you an insightful perspective on the human experience over time. The easy-to-read narrative is organized around seven major themes (Science and Technology, Art and Ideas, Family and Society, Politics and Government, Earth and the Environment, Religion and Philosophy and Interaction and Exchange). Important to all cultures from all time periods, these themes help you understand the course of world history and make connections across chapters." --Provided by the publisher </abstract>
