Beschreibung

World history has expanded dramatically in recent years, primarily as a teaching field, and increasingly as a research field. Growing numbers of teachers and [...] in history are required to teach the subject. They must be current on topics from human evolution to industrial development in Song-dynasty China to today's disease patterns - and then link these disparate topics into a coherent course. Numerous textbooks in print and in preparation summarize the field of world history at an introductory level. But good teaching also requires advanced training for teachers, and access to a stream of new research from scholars trained as world historians. In this book, Patrick Manning provides the first comprehensive overview of the academic field of world history. He reviews patterns of research and debate, and proposes guidelines for study by teachers and by researchers in world history.

Zusammenfassung

World history is one of the fastest growing fields in history, and its leading practitioner offers a lively and thorough overview of the field's past, present, and future

Graduate students in all fields of history are increasingly required to teach world history survey courses (with no training or background) as junior faculty, and this book allows them to familiarize themselves with the field

World history is a growing part of secondary school history curricula, so this book should cross-sell nicely in the education market
