Encouraging a look at the "big picture"—what societies have in common and how one historical period evolves from another—rather than focusing on details such as names of kings and dates of wars, this holistic view of history starts with the Big Bang and moves to the present.

World history is organized into five phases of human development called "waves": communal, agricultural, urban, modern, and global. Distinctive cultural patterns, referred to as "currents," are repeated in each wave, and the book’s eight chapters are built around these waves and currents. Each chapter also includes "Questions to Consider" and "Insights" meant to spur critical thinking. Numerous photos, charts, and graphics heighten understanding of the ideas being presented. The optional 158-page Educator’s Handbook for Teaching a Holistic World History (©2012) provides suggestions and strategies for use in the classroom, and extensive online teacher support materials are also available.
