Designed to complement World in the Making: A Global History, this two-volume sourcebook gathers together the voices of both notable figures and everyday individuals. Compiled by the Bonnie Smith, Marc Van Der Mieroop, Richard von Glahn, and Kris Lane, Sources for World in the Making reflects the geographic breadth and key social, cultural, and political developments covered in each chapter of the parent text. Every chapter includes an introduction and approximately six sources representing both major works ands fresh perspectives. A "Contrasting Views" feature presents sources with divergent perspectives to foster comparative analysis.
