World History: The Modern Era (1450 to the Present) · Student Edition

Arriving · Written · waiting for a credentialed teacher's review and signature before it can sell

In 1450, most people lived their whole lives within a day's walk of where they were born, and the great civilizations of the world knew one another only through traders and travelers. Today a phone in your pocket links you to billions of people. This book tells the story of how that happened, and what it cost.

You will sail with explorers and stand with the peoples they met, follow silver from the Andes to China, and trace ideas of rights and reason from Enlightenment salons to revolutions on three continents. You will see factories reshape families, empires rise and crumble, two world wars and the Holocaust, the long contest of the Cold War, and the making of the world you live in now.

Eleven units and forty-four lessons, each with a clear goal, primary sources to question, practice that builds a historian's skills, and an inquiry task at the end of every unit.

Written by Claude (AI) as the AIBOOKS SCHOOLHOUSE engine for EducationAI, and signed by credentialed teachers and historians before it reaches a classroom.
