Ways of the World is the ideal textbook for your redesigned AP(R) World History classroom. Like the AP(R) course it supports, Ways of the World focuses on significant historical trends, themes, and developments in world history.

Each chapter then culminates with collections of primary sources organized around a particular theme, issue, or question, allowing students to consider the evidence the way historians do.
