Its thirty-three chapters are grouped into sections that address how to set up research projects in world history, how to teach it, how to get jobs in it, how to frame it, and how it is done in various parts of the globe. It is an actual handbook, in other words, as opposed to a sample of exemplary work.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnglish Historical Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Companion to World History\u003c\/i\u003e offers a comprehensive overview of the variety of approaches and practices utilized in the field of world and global history. This state-of-the-art collection of more than 30 insightful essays – including contributions from an international cast of leading world historians and emerging scholars in the field – identifies continuing areas of contention, disagreement, and divergence, while pointing out fruitful directions for further discussion and research. Themes and topics explored include the lineages and trajectories of world history, key ideas and methods employed by world historians, the teaching of world history and how it draws upon and challenges \"traditional\" approaches, and global approaches to writing world history. By considering these interwoven issues of scholarship and pedagogy from a transnational, interregional, and world\/global scale, fresh insights are gained and new challenges posed. With its rich compendium of diverse viewpoints, \u003ci\u003eA Companion to World History\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential resource for the study of the world's past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDouglas Northrop\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of History and Near Eastern Studies at the University of Michigan.
