This book is designed for the second semester of Exploring World History. It surveys history from the Renaissance to the present

We recommend twelve works of literature that complement the lessons in Exploring World History. These books are not essential for understanding the lessons, but each one adds a valuable perspective on a different time period.

Reading the literature is part of earning the English credit. If your student has already read one of the assigned books, or you want to choose a different book for any reason, you can substitute a different book.
