Features

The five authors' wide range of expertise, which includes published books and articles on various aspects of U.S., Latin American, Russian, Middle Eastern and Chinese History, is unmatched by any other twentieth-century text team.
The text's unique organization begins in Chapter One which introduces five key topics that are then referred to in each of the main, chronologically-ordered sections of the book. An introductory chapter in each section provides an overview of the period in regard to developments in each of these topical areas: science and technology, economics, political and social developments, international relationships, and cultural trends.
In addition to providing structure using five key themes, the book is divided into four parts, each dealing with a key period of twentieth-century history; these are subdivided into thirty-four chapters designed to deliver difficult concepts in manageable, student-friendly portions of information.
An objective, analytical approach rather than an interpretive and ideological approach provides professors with the flexibility to introduce their own interpretation along with the material in the text.
Primary source boxes, featuring excerpts from the diaries and autobiographies of leading twentieth century figures, adds human interest and insight into the roles of individuals in history.
An array of pedagogical features enhance the narrative, including excellent maps, illustrations, chronologies, marginal notes that highlight key terms and topics, suggested sources for additional reading, and a glossary.
A geography appendix briefly surveys world demographic and economic patterns, providing students with an additional context for understanding events and the relationship between history and geography.
