Worlds Together, Worlds Apart (Concise fourth edition)

Instructors have made Worlds Together, Worlds Apart the #1-selling collegiate survey because its global-by-design narrative builds each chapter around big themes in world history that allow most of the regions to be discussed in each chapter while focusing updates on cutting-edge global topics that students care about, such as gender, the environment, migration, and technology.

The New Edition is more inclusive, with expanded Indigenous history coverage.

The NEW Norton Illumine Ebook provides an engaging interactive reading experience for students, and includes enhanced features that support student success and build important history skills.
