Welcome to the companion website for Panorama, A World History, Volume 1.

How did Teotihuacán in Mexico become one of the world's largest cities? Why did Roman soldiers in Britain worship a Persian god? What important roles did women play in the Mongol empire?

Panorama explores these questions by following the journey of humankind in a global context, weaving a world-scale narrative with a single chronological thread. It empowers you to connect the regional histories of particular states, empires, and cultural traditions to larger patterns of change on hemispheric and global scales-examining migratory movements, networks of trade, the spread of religions, pandemics, and environmental transformations.
