A portable guide to more than 700 world history terms

Expanding upon the standard glossaries found in history survey textbooks, The Bedford Glossary for World History offers historically contextualized definitions for hundreds of terms — from African National Congress to Zen Buddhism — that students will encounter in lectures, reading, and exams.

Features

Accessible, affordable, and portable. Arranged alphabetically and cross-referenced for easy use, The Bedford Glossary for World History is pocket-sized and inexpensive (and free when packaged with a Bedford survey text), making it the perfect reference for students on the go and on a budget.

Historical context aids student comprehension. Definitions provide a time frame and give concrete examples, helping students grasp the meaning of a term and comprehend its historical importance.

Encompasses terms from social, political, economic, intellectual, cultural, and legal history — and defines historical periods as well. Examples include caste system, Meiji Restoration, Pan-Africanism, encomienda system, North/South gap, liberation theology, New Culture Movement, and law code of Hammurabi — all clearly explained in one brief and handy resource.

Bedford/St.Martin's

In 1981, Charles Christensen and Joan Feinberg founded an imprint of St. Martin's Press called Bedford Books and started work on The Bedford Reader. Today, Bedford/St. Martin's is publishing across the disciplines of English, History, Communication, Music, and College Success. Books like A Writer's Reference, The Bedford Series in History and Culture, and A Speaker's Guidebook work because they grow from where disciplines are, where they're going, and what they need.
