World History Workbook

Autor David Hertzel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 2016
This innovative and user-friendly workbook, now combined into a single volume organized chronologically, guides students and instructors through the ideas and methods of world history. Designed to be used either as a stand-alone text or as a companion to a more traditional text, this hands-on book provides all the elements necessary to support a world history course, including narrative, projects, primary sources, and a detailed glossary of terms. David Hertzel uses the guiding argument that world history is the heritage of every student s own family, culture, language, and values. He asks students to examine historical universals such as language, genealogy, myth, literature, religion, and archetypes. Rather than provide exhaustive coverage of each of these vast topics, the workbook provides judiciously selected historical examples as models that can launch discussions suitable to the needs of a particular class. The projects guide readers to recognize universals in their own lives and societies, allowing instructors and students to pursue historical themes in a constructive and open environment. The thoughtful readings and questions address moral issues involving freedom, equality, and justice, and the projects are designed to be used in a discussion or Socratic method in classes of all sizes. Despite the rigor of the comparative method and the extensive use of primary material, the workbook retains a simple but powerful theme and approach, making it accessible to students from a wide range of educational and social backgrounds."

Recenzii

David Hertzel's provocative workbook provides thoughtful exercises that allow students opportunities to gain deeper understandings of how historians make interpretations and draw conclusions about the past. In addition, he draws examples from a wide variety of periods and locations to help students glean a better understanding of what it means to be human.
Hertzel's workbook offers an innovative approach to learning about world history. He does not present us with an exhaustive narrative, but instead offers a wealth of information and learning frameworks along with selective narratives on a variety of world history topics. It will be a valuable tool for faculty who want to teach by using a book filled with practical exercises that places students at the center of the learning process.
I have had the opportunity to engage the World History Workbook as both a student and an instructor. It is a text that, above all else, respects the students themselves as capable participants in the discipline of History and as protagonists in building a world that is more tolerant, just, open, and honest. In the World History Workbook, Hertzel turns away from providing students with the broad outlines they received earlier in their education. Instead, Hertzel designs his chapters around themes and universal experiences throughout World History. Hertzel anchors these universal themes around student projects that teach the discipline of History step by step. So while the student using the workbook learns about Humanism, the Enlightenment, and other topics, they will complement this reading with projects that teach how historians work such as differentiating between primary and secondary sources, the comparative method, and evaluating sources in relationship to their contexts. Like the chapters themselves, these projects all center around the responsibility of the historian, and indeed the responsibility of every person, to pursue the truth using arguments and evidence.

For the new Third Edition, Hertzel provides a brand new chapter on women and the environment in the Modern World. This chapter exposes students to some of the most offensive injustices towards both women and the environment that are both unchanging human constants and ongoing (in some cases worsening) in the present. While much of this chapter is hard reading, Hetzel addresses these issues in a responsible way that serves not to depress so much as to empower the student to work to create a better world. My own students were emphatic over the power of these readings. I cannot praise the World History Workbook highly enough.
