The increasing pace and specialization of historical inquiry has caused an ever-widening gap between professional research and general surveys of world history. The titles in the Connections series are designed to bridge that gap by placing the latest research on selected topics of global significance into an easily accessible context for students. Brief and tightly focused, each Connections title examines cross-cultural themes by employing a combination of narrative, documents, and analysis to show students connections in world history.
