Encouraging a broadbased understanding of continuity, change, and innovation in human history, Patterns of World History presents the global past in a comprehensive, evenhanded, and openended fashionPatterns of World History offers a distinct framework for understanding the global past through the study of origins, interactions, and adaptations. Authors Peter von Sivers, Charles A. Desnoyers, and George Stoweach specialists in their respective fieldsexamine the full range of human ingenuity over time and space in a comprehensive, evenhanded, and critical fashion.The book helps students to see and understand patterns through: ORIGINS INTERACTIONS ADAPTATIONSThese key features show the OIA framework in action:* Seeing Patterns, a list of key questions at the beginning of each chapter, focuses students on the 35 overarching patterns, which are revisited, considered, and synthesized at the end of the chapter in Thinking Through Patterns* Each chapter includes a Patterns Up Close case study that brings into sharp relief the OIA pattern using a specific idea or thing that has developed in human history (and helped, in turn, develop human history), like the innovation of the Chinese writing system or religious syncretism in India. Each case study clearly shows how an innovation originated either in one geographical center or independently in several different centers. It demonstrates how, as people in the centers interacted with their neighbors, the neighbors adapted toand in many cases were transformed bythe idea, object, or event. Adaptations include the entire spectrum of human responses, ranging from outright rejection to creative borrowing and, at times, forced acceptance.
