This is a remixed version of World History: Culture, States, and Societies to 1500 by Berger, et al. It's a textbook suitable for the World History survey. I have reorganized the text in order to provide a more globally integrated narrative. Each chapter invites students to compare and contrast developments across regions during a period of time.
This version of the book retains the text of the original but with updated references to chapters. I verified and, if necessary, updated links to online resources. In cases where the exact illustration used in the original version was not available, I have substituted equivalent ones. I also created and edited segues and other “connective tissue” as well to (hopefully) ensure that this version of the book reads as smoothly as the original.
Additional changes include:
More concise lists of “key terms” in each chapter Expanded coverage of the Persian Empire Expanded coverage of the end of the Yuan Dynasty Added brief overview of the early Ming Dynasty including the voyages of Zheng He Work on this adaption was generously sponsored by a grant from Michigan Colleges Online, a project of the Michigan Community College Association.

"Asia has 365 million elderly people, and this population is expected to reach 520 million by 2030 Asian countries also had the highest rates of dementia in the 2015 World Alzheimer Report Because the risks of dementia and hypertension - which are related - increase with age, Asia is facing a troubling trend in its aging population The HOPE Asia Network conducted a much-needed review of hypertension and dementia in Asia They found that Asians had low awareness of hypertension as a major risk factor for brain damage and compared to developed countries, Asian countries had poorer hypertension management The HOPE Network emphasized the importance of controlling blood pressure variability to preserve cognitive functions by reducing vascular dementia risk and global stroke burden and suggested that Asia must focus on detecting hypertension and lowering blood pressure in midlife to protect against later-life cognitive decline in its growing elderly population Turana et al..."
