Acerca de este libro electrónico
Not your run-of-the-mill world history tome, this book takes readers on a fascinating journey through time to examine world history through the closely related discipline of geography.
From the early civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia to our present-day globalized society, readers will learn how humans interacted – and still interact – with the environment around them, as well as the environment's role in not only shaping the society's world view but enabling the building of socially stratified and successful civilizations. Additionally, the book examines how civilizations interacted with others, from developing cross-boundary trade to initiating wars of expansion. Finally, readers will also understand the impact of the study and application of geography, such as the creation and use of maps and the study of cultures and Earth's processes.
Readers will come away with a new understanding of the relevance of geography to not only human history but contemporary events, as well as their day-to-day lives. By presenting this history from a slightly different, geographic point of view, this book will inspire fresh curiosity in the world, both past and present.
