The New World History: A Teacher's Companion

A professor I respect suggested this book for me because I may have to teach a world history survey in the future at the college level. I found the summaries of the various approaches and theories very useful as well as some of the articles. The reason I didn't give the book 5 stars is that it lacks examples of syllabi, course descriptions and lessons that are used in world history surveys. That would make the book a 5 star in terms of practicality. Theories is great but method needs examples and the best way to learn to teach is yes, to teach, but to also watch great teachers and see how they do things.
