Specifically designed for the AP course in world history, The Earth and Its Peoples explores the theme of peoples interacting with their environment by uniting discussions of different times, places, and societies. Special emphasis is given to technology and how its development underlies all human activity. The Third Edition maintains the rigor and accessibility of previous editions, while offering updated coverage of the most recent events in world history. New maps depict the growing stress on water supplies, as well as the growth of the global and economic trade groups. Students are invited to explore the significance of primary source documents and to challenge their critical-thinking skills with document-based questions integrated throughout the text. Chapter chronologies facilitate comparisons among the states and empires covered.
