Connect students to the stories of history. Connect students to the experience of history. Connect students to success in history. At McGraw-Hill; we have dedicated the past few years to deepening our understanding of student and instructor experience. Employing a wide array of research tools including surveys; focus groups; and ethnographic studies; we've identified areas in need of improvement to provide an opportunity for greater learning and teaching experiences. The fifth edition of Traditions Encounters is a result of this. Traditions Encounters also has a rich history of firsts: the first world history text to take a truly global perspective on the past; the first to emphasise connections among cultures; the first to combine twin themes with a seven-part framework; making the huge story of world history more manageable to both teach and learn. Now Traditions Encounters becomes the first truly interactive world history program: one that marries groundbreaking adaptive diagnostics and interactivities with a captivating narrative and engaging visuals; creating a unique learning environment that propels greater student success and better course results. Instructors gain insight into students' engagement and understanding as students develop a base of knowledge and construct critical thinking skills. Chapter-opening vignettes and a lively narrative keep students turning the page while the adaptive questioning for each chapter and the personalized study plan for each individual student help students prepare for class discussions and course work. With its hallmark of twin themes; Traditions Encounters continues to tell the story of the cultures and interactions that have shaped world history; while adding redesigned maps; new primary sources; and new chapter- and part-level features that strengthen connections and prompt students to analyse the events and themes in order to build a greater understanding of the past and an appreciation of history's influence on the present. Students are no longer simply reading; they are reading; interacting; and engaging in a visual; auditory; and hands-on learning experience. Give students an experience. Improve course participation and performance. Experience Traditions Encounters; and experience success.

Word wrap doesn't work in Kindle App for AndroidBy CustomerI would like to read this on my smartphone; but I can't because the word wrap doesn't work in the Kindle App for Android. When I enlarge the text it extends off the screen instead of wrapping. Also; says the eTextbook version is in English; but it's in Spanish; which is fine with me.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

With that said it appears to be historically accurate. The format is nice and easy to follow for non-native speakers. It is well illustrated and detailed but not boring. There are stories and poems in many sections that help give a feel for the general mindset of the people in the time periods discussed.
