This textbook pioneers a new approach by historicizing the material traditionally taught in International Relations courses, and by explicitly focusing on non-European cases, debates and issues. The volume is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the international systems that traditionally existed in Europe, East Asia, pre-Columbian Central and South America, Africa and Polynesia. The second part discusses the ways in which these international systems were brought into contact with each other through the agency of Mongols in Central Asia, Arabs in the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean, Indic and Sinic societies in South East Asia, and the Europeans through their travels and colonial expansion. The concluding section concerns contemporary issues: the processes of decolonization, neo-colonialism and globalization – and their consequences on contemporary society.7302019-06-22T18:30:17Z2024-03-13T22:08:42ZMythology Unbound: An Online Textbook for Classical Mythology<img alt="Read more about Mythology Unbound: An Online Textbook for Classical Mythology" title="Mythology Unbound: An Online Textbook for Classical Mythology cover image" class="cover " width="600" height="800" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6Njc1LCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--2deb1aed83cfe64cfb539994686adde195959202/0000MytholUnb.jpg" />Mythology Unbound7002019-05-04T19:30:34Z2024-01-22T14:52:06ZWestern Civilization: A Concise History Volume 3<img alt="Read more about Western Civilization: A Concise History Volume 3" title="Western Civilization: A Concise History Volume 3 cover image" class="cover " width="637" height="824" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjUyLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--689cc572a42374151f0f84de4887d33fe89d6522/0000WeCivVol3.png" />Western Civilization: A Concise History is an Open Educational Resource textbook covering the history of Western Civilization from approximately 8,000 BCE to 2017 CE.

Much of this text follows thematic lines. Each chapter moves chronologically but with alternative narratives in mind. What Aboriginal accounts must we place in the foreground? Which structures (economic or social) determine the range of choices available to human agents of history? What environmental questions need to be raised to gain a more complete understanding of choices made in the past and their ramifications?
