Welcome to the Reading the World Student Web Site

This student site offers texts and maps that will enhance your understanding of the readings and images in your textbook.  For each chapter, there is also a bibliography that you can use as a starting point for further study and research.  A timeline provides an outline of historical events that influenced the world’s great thinkers.

Your new copy of Reading the World: Ideas That Matter comes with a free registrationcode to Norton Literature Online.  This separate site supports several Norton texts and includes author portraits, additional maps, musical examples from different historical periods, an extensive glossary of literary terms, a “Writing about Literature” section, MLA documentation guidelines, and more.
