Starting from the legacies of Islamic civilisation and the interactions of the East and West, the text moves into the Renaissance in Europe, then into the Ottoman and Mughal spheres. The narrative emphasizes the transfer of power, knowledge, culture and talent across regions and time. After each major section, students engage in activities that link past events to present-day scenarios, fostering critical thinking rather than rote learning. Abstract This textbook is designed as a learning resource that blends narrative history with skill development. It aims to help students build an understanding of how historical civilisations emerged, developed and inter-connected. Through its visuals, timelines, key terms, and activities, the book supports learners in grasping both content (what happened) and context (why it mattered). Its dual focus is on historical knowledge and on historical thinking skills: analysis, interpretation, comparison, and linking past to present. Review Strengths: The book aligns well with the national curriculum for Grade 7 in Pakistan, which ensures relevance for students in the local schooling context. kifayatpublishers.com The inclusion of learning activities after each section is commendable: helps avoid pure narrative and supports engagement. Visuals, maps, and photographs aid comprehension of historical geography and period transitions ER -
