About this ebook
The textbook Worlds Together, Worlds Apart: Concise Edition (4th Edition) by Jeremy Adelman, Elizabeth Pollard, Clifford Rosenberg, Robert Tignor, and Alan Karras covers the entire span of global human history. The text focuses on interconnected global storylines, trade, migration, and structural shifts across civilisations rather than isolated regional histories. [1, 2, 3]
The standard breakdown of topics covered by Volume 1 and Volume 2 includes the following:
Volume 1: From the Beginnings of Humankind to the 15th Century
Covers prehistory to early global exploration, detailing the rise of early societies and expansion. [1]
  • Ch. 1-2: Prehistory, agricultural revolution, and early urban civilizations (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Indus).
  • Ch. 3-4: Territorial states, migrations, and early empires (Persian, Zhou, Vedic).
  • Ch. 5-6: The "Axial Age" of philosophy, Mediterranean states, and the Silk Roads.
  • Ch. 7-8: Comparison of Roman/Han empires and the rise of universalizing religions.
  • Ch. 9-11: Islamic Caliphates, Tang China, commercial integration, and post-Black Death recovery.
Volume 2: From 1000 CE to the Present
  • Ch. 12-14: European exploration, colonization, the Atlantic system, and major empires.
  • Ch. 15-16: Atlantic Revolutions, industrialization, and global indigenous resistance.
  • Ch. 17-18: Modern imperialism, nation-state consolidation, and early 20th-century shifts.
  • Ch. 19-20: World wars, global economic crisis, decolonization, and the Cold War.
  • Ch. 21-22: Digital revolution, modern globalization, and contemporary issues.

  • The Environment: Climate, disease, and agriculture.
