The New World History is a comprehensive volume to help instructors prepare for the challenge of teaching the world history survey. As more and more schools add the course to their curriculum, the need for a collection of writings on teaching issues becomes more apparent. With more than 50 articles by 51 scholars and experienced instructors, this topical reader will prove a valuable resource for both new and seasoned teachers. The editor, a leading voice for advancing the world history curriculum, has organized the articles into 11 pedagogically oriented chapters on topics such as arguments for and against teaching world history and the place of gender issues in world history. Each chapter includes approximately 5 articles; chapters open a brief introduction and an outline of ongoing discussions among historians. An overview of the history of the course in this country, along with a review of the debates that surround it, appears in an introduction that sets the stage for the articles that follow. Annotated bibliographies follow the selections to help foster ideas for further research.

4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The New World History: A Teacher's Companion (Bedford Readers) (Paperback)
A professor I respect suggested this book for me because I may have to teach a world history survey in the future at the college level. I found the summaries of the various approaches and theories very useful as well as some of the articles. The reason I didn't give the book 5 stars is that it lacks examples of syllabi, course descriptions and lessons that are used in world history surveys. That would make the book a 5 star in terms of practicality. Theories is great but method needs examples and the best way to learn to teach is yes, to teach, but to also watch great teachers and see how they do things.
