FULL-COLOR <strong>Perspectives</strong> on Modern World History
from Greenhaven Press offers a fresh look — from
multiple perspectives — at momentous events in
modern world history. Focusing on events such as
the end of apartheid in South Africa, the fall of the
Berlin Wall, the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and the
Tiananmen Square protests, every volume opens with
background information — including primary source
material — covering the periods leading up to, during
and after the event. Then, each volume offers an indepth,
multinational perspective on the controversies
surrounding the event and the current implications
or long-lasting effects. Each volume concludes with
first-person narratives from people who lived through
or were directly impacted by the event.
Created specifically for high school, early college and
general interest researchers and readers, <strong>Perspectives</strong>
on Modern World History promotes critical thinking
skills, supports debate assignments, increases global
awareness and enhances the understanding of
international perspectives.
Features of each volume:
n Annotated table of contents
n Introduction to the topic
n A world map
n Three chapters that contain essays focusing on
general background information, multinational
perspectives and first-person narratives
n Full-color photographs, charts, maps and other
illustrations
n Sidebars highlighting related topics
n Glossary of key terms, as appropriate
n Chronology
n Bibliography of books, periodicals and Web sites
n Index
