    About this ebook

    In World History: Societies of the Past, students explore societies of the past and see the influences and impact history has on their lives today.

    The textbook provides students with an easy-to-understand and in-depth look at human societies—from early hunters-gatherers to ancient societies to the beginnings of modern-day societies (1850 CE). A chronological approach explores social, environmental, political, economic, cultural, and technological issues that remain relevant in today’s world.

    To help your students visualize historical situations and events, the textbook includes:

    • hundreds of vibrant illustrations and historical works of art
    • detailed maps, diagrams, and charts
    • informative timelines
    • questions, summaries, and quick facts
    • stories of everyday people.

    Recommended by Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth as a Manitoba Grade 7 Social Studies Learning Resource.

    Recommended for British Columbia grade 7 classrooms.
