In addition, an interactive tutorial, "Reading Primary Sources," guides students through the process of working with documents through a four-step process: analyzing authorship determining audience identifying argument historical significancePearson/Prentice Hall Staff is the author of 'Documents in Global History', published 2006 under ISBN 9780131344068 and ISBN 0131344064.
