Page Title: Story of the World History Curriculum

In her heroic endeavor to destroy the wall that has separated American and world history for so long, Susan Wise Bauer created the Story of the World Series, a narrated, integrated approach to the history of the (whole) world. Take a captivating tour through The Ancient Times, The Middle Ages, Early Modern Times and The Modern Age with Bauer’s straightforward approach, and experience all of history!
