Our new World History reference set
I’m pleased to announce the publication today of Milestone Documents in World History, the latest installment in our Milestone Documents series of reference sets. This 4-volume, 1,900-page set covers 125 essential primary documents from ancient history to the present. As with all of our Milestone Documents sets, the entries here combine the full text of the document with an in-depth, analytical essay by a historian that places the document in its historical context, explains what the text says and means, and describes the impact. If you want to see an example from the set, read our entry on the Haiti Constitution of 1801.
We’ve heard many times from librarians and history teachers alike how difficult it is to find good, authoritative resources on world history, so we think our new set will find a warm welcome in libraries around the country, whether they are school, public, or academic ones. Also, once again we offer a complete set of teacher activity guides for educators who are using the set; these are correlated to the National Standards for World History.
Finally, remember that all of our sets come with free online access (via Salem History) for an entire school or campus, and that access includes remote access from a student’s dorm room or home. As ever, it’s the best deal in reference publishing. If you want to order the set, just visit Salem’s Web site or call toll-free 1-800-221-1592.
