Book excerpt: The primary goal of [this text] is to allow students enrolled in world history courses to do history in the same way ... as historians do - to examine a group of original sources to answer questions about the past. The unique structure of this book clusters primary sources around a set of historical questions that students are asked to "solve." [The text also] prompts students to actually "analyze" a wide variety of authentic primary source material, to make inferences, and to draw conclusions in much the same way that historians do. [It] is designed to accommodate any format of the World History course, from the small lecture/discussion class at a liberal arts or community college to the large lecture with discussions led by teaching assistants as a sizable university.-GQ115.
