About the Book

/*032133258X, Stearns, Documents in World History, Volume 2, 4e*/Considerably revised, this edition of Documents in World History gives professors a large variety of primary sources from all areas of the world. The book retains its global emphasis and includes more primary sources that balance social and cultural history with standard selections, political coverage, and fuller coverage of Africa and the Middle East, including Persia. Several individual passages have been replaced or augmented to provide greater richness and interest. Materials on social issues have also been augmented.
