“Panorama: A World History is a timely work that incorporates multiple disciplines in its examination of human interconnectedness and exchange. It is a vital examination of the ties that have bound humanity together and will be of great use in the classroom and beyond.”

Ian Abbey, Prairie View A&M University, USA

“Panorama seamlessly navigates global, regional, civilizational, local, and individual scales of time and space, offering clear signposts to help readers put the temporal and spatial pieces together. Designed with exceptional learning features to help students make sense of the past, it's a “considerate” text-including marginal notes, guiding questions, comparative charts, primary sources, and an engaging narrative to enable historical thinking. Ideal for college-level surveys, it will be a valuable resource to prepare world history teachers.”

Bob Bain, University of Michigan, USA

“Panorama represents the best recent thinking in world history, and the authors have crafted a book which feels both comprehensive and grounded, covering major moments and themes without losing sight of individuals and their social context. The text feels written with the instructor in mind, and almost seems to anticipate what is needed – there is always a case study, map, artefact or provocative question in the book right when you would want it for your students.”

Jack Bouchard, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, USA

“Finally, a world history text that puts human history on world time! Focused on humankind as a whole and its interactions over time, Panorama provides a conceptually organized and integrative approach to the human past”

Edmund Burke, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA

In Panorama, A World History, Dunn and Willoughby have produced an engaging and comprehensive coursebook covering the span of human existence from pre-history to the present. Judiciously incorporating the history of societies and cultures around the globe and weaving these into a coherent narrative, it balances the broad-brush approach inevitable in world history with accounts of exemplary individuals, objects and events, and invites the student to consider how historians approach their subject. Comprehensive without being overly dense, and generously illustrated in color with images, maps and tables, it is both visually and intellectually engaging. The new edition of Panorama, A World History is a boon to both instructors and students.

Brian Aivars Catlos, University of Colorado Boulder, USA

“Panorama is an innovative textbook that uses an environmental approach to make the daunting field of world history more manageable for undergraduates. Each chapter includes valuable resources that illustrate key themes and pushes students to make important connections across time and place. Panorama is an engaging and timely introduction to the field, and it has my highest recommendation!”
