Description

This series, designed originally for high school students, covers the time period from 3500 B.C. to the 1780s.

Students will come to understand the connections between human beings despite time and distance. This course analyzes civilizations, their geographic and political environments, their technologies, economies, social institutions, and cultural achievements.

Linwood Thompson is the visual aid for these lectures. Every lesson is delivered in special period costumes and characters to illustrate the life of its time. Adults will enjoy these performances, too: in the hands of these many characters, history has far more "sticking power" than any chronological narrative you’ve ever heard or seen.
