, a survey of global history from the Paleolithic era to the shock of the Mongol conquests. The set’s second course, World History 2: From a Far Country
, opens with war, plague, and schism in Europe and Asia, eventually bringing the student to the 9/11 attacks and the Global War on Terror. The Professor is on-site from highland-mountain Tibet to lowland-jungle Tikal, from Muhammad’s Medina to Denmark’s Viking coast. World History I and World History II zoom in on and establish critical connections between all 16 major world regions, making them global history courses in the truest sense of the term.
