Críticas

"What I value most about the conceptualization of The Human Record is its disciplinary integrity. Unlike many authors of global history textbooks and readers, Andrea and Overfield do not rely on artificial patterns, imposed on the coincidental to create false connections between societies which in fact had little or nothing to do with one another. ... Theirs represents the kind of balanced and historically grounded approach to global history which should become the prevailing model."
