For more than two thousand years, the Socratic dialogue has been a hallmark of higher education and the method which defines critical thinking. David Hertzel's textbook provides a framework of world historical sources, narratives, and questions through which instructors can gracefully adopt a Socratic method for their General Education classes. No textbook in any field applies critical methods more successfully than does this one. Now in its third edition, the author and editors at Rowman and Littlefield have updated The World History Workbook to include a new chapter on the mixed legacy of globalization and modernization, both defined as having descended from humanist principles. The third edition also includes several additional primary sources, revised numerous projects, passages on a diversity of world historical topics including women, folktales, Swahili as a lingua franca, and the personal significance of ancestry. The core material of narrative, primary sources, and projects remains intact from the first and second editions. The Workbook follows the argument that humans share a common history, albeit with contrasting particular experiences. The subject of the course therefore addresses the place students and their instructors hold in human history. Students are encouraged to explore historical problems that persist in modern society and project questions suggest grand yet accessible discussion topics including justice, gender, bureaucracy, human rights, individuality, ancestry, faith and reason, and other timeless human problems.
This volume explores technology and communication of the early settlements of Northern Europe. The articles will discuss case studies and present overviews from the early and middle Mesolithic of Northern Europe. Special emphasis will be put on the spatial and temporal transmission of knowledge and culture. This subject addresses themes such as the transmission of specialised knowledge, the generative transmission of knowledge, the understanding of technology as somatic or incorporated culture in human society and the role of pedagogies and teaching in cultural sustainment and transformation. Other papers will discuss the relation between demography and technological developments, as well as the natural and cultural context for the transmission of culture. The understanding of the transmission of technology is, again, closely interrelated to the nature and efficiency of social networks of contact and their social and physical framework. Ultimately these question addresses one of the fundamental issues of our time - how to understand and cope with radical changes. This book provides new and different answers to this great problem of our time.
