Meyer, Ed., The Search For Order - Landmarks Of World Civilizations

Abstract

The Search for Order is a two-volume collection of primary sources. This work is designed to be used in the world history classroom. The selections cover the gamut, from political to social to cultural topics. Each volume is divided into three parts, each part containing twenty-three sources in the following geographical subheadings: Southwest Eurasia and Africa; South and Southeast Eurasia; East Eurasia; West Eurasia; and, when appropriate, the Americas. The students may be unfamiliar with these designations, but once they arc accustomed to them there should be no problem. To aid in this endeavor, Meyer provides a shaded map before each section to reinforce student knowledge of geography.
