This is a very serviceable survey of world history since 1500CE. Unlike multi-authored texts---i.e. with 4 authors, 6 editions and scant literary merit---Robert Strayer presents a unified perspective in readable, engaging style. The illustrations, maps and supporting material are excellent. While the outlook is rather liberal, the author presents a well-balanced range of views. He is more interested in discerning key developments and patterns of change instead of piling on details (thus "brief history"), but there's enough data to document the issues. It's also among the more affordable surveys of this kind. One drawback to earlier editions was the lack of extensive primary source excerpts, but Strayer has now remedied this with additional, fascinating written and visual materials. A very good supplement, especially for strengthening coverage of gender (already pretty strong here) is vol.2 of JK Conway ed, "Written By Herself." Strayer's works have quickly become favorites for world history courses.
