Reviews

Ruptured Lives delivers a clear, compelling, and well-written human perspective on the origins, development, and implications of refugee crises in world history. * Rebekah Klein-Pejsova, Purdue University * This is a truly innovative series that promises to revolutionize how world history is taught, freeing students and faculty alike from the 'tyranny of coverage' often embedded within civilizational paradigms, and facilitating sustained reflection on the roots of the most pressing issues in our contemporary world. Students' understanding of the importance of history and their interest in our discipline is sure to be heightened by these volumes that deeply contextualize and historicize current global problems. * Nicola Foote, Arizona State University * Some of us love history for its own sake, but for most students the contents of a college history course seem detached, unrelated to their lives, even meaningless. Yet we are surrounded by the legacy of history. Everything around us * policy, population, culture, economy, environment *
