Crossroads and Cultures: A History of the World’s Peoples incorporates the best current cultural history into a fresh and original narrative that connects global patterns of development with life on the ground. As the title; “Crossroads;†suggests; this new synthesis highlights the places and times where people exchanged goods and commodities; shared innovations and ideas; waged war and spread disease; and in doing so joined their lives to the broad sweep of global history. Students benefit from a strong pedagogical design; abundant maps and images; and special features that heighten the narrative’s attention to the lives and voices of the world’s peoples.

Five StarsBy Gwenola C-FreemanExcellent!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Interesting ReadBy MrsRvnMillerThe author's organization of the information he had was solid. Having to read this book as an over-worked college student; it was difficult to get through. I found the reversal of attitudes and roles between the two men intriguing. If you're a big civil rights buff or want to know more about these two figure heads; this is the book. If you're looking for something to assign to your honors level students... well; not so much :) (we read this book after Anne Moody's Coming of Age in Mississippi; the contrast is what ruined it for me I think.)
