is like having David Attenborough personally walk you through key episodes of the past pointing out interesting stories, fascinating episodes, and iconic individuals as he guides you through the history of the world. David Atwill (Penn State University) describes Seven Themes, thusly Teachers treasure the interwoven narratives, the themes and the scientific analyses of the past. (Click on "More" on the Home Page Toolbar to find one such game in "Teaching Materials") Simulated society games, which I have developed and are aligned to chapter subjects.Student-oriented bibliography, developed by a Research Librarian.Teacher guides developed by two Master Teachers of World History. Seven Themes is closely aligned with my author's app (7themes.app), which contains In Chapter One, for example, microanalysis of tartar on ancient homonid teeth reveals datable evidence for the shift from eating tough grasses to a more varied diet including meat. The chapters utiilize modern scientific methods of understanding the past. Most of the guides derive from cultures far beyond Europe and the United States. The book presents these broad societal problems through the experiences of guides, that is, actual historical figures whose letters and oral accounts show how they were deeply affected by the chapter's theme. Each chapter concludes witht the Bigger Picture, which brings the core theme forward to the present, suggesting varioius ways in which societies have handled these fundamental issues across time and underscores the commonalitites and diversity in human experience. loyalty, slavery, gender, trade, technology, and human rights. Themes of chapters include, for example, food. The body of each chapter focuses on a theme that every society - historical or contemporary - must face, regardless of religion, political structure, ethnicity, language, or geographbical locartion. Each chapter opens with the Big Picture, which poses a theme (some teachers will term this theme a " driving question"). Seven Themes has a coherent and comprehensible overall structure. Seven Themes is short, less than half the pages of competing World History textbooks and is priced about half of the cost of conventional textboooks. I have worked with Oxford University Press for more than six yearts to produce an utterly fresh, new single-author approach to World History textbook.
