About The Author

Kevin Reilly

Kevin Reilly

Dr. Kevin Reilly is a humanities professor at Raritan Valley Community College who has previously taught at Rutgers, Columbia, and Princeton Universities. Dr. Reilly co-founded and served as the first president of the World History Association. He wrote The West and the World and edited Worlds of History, Readings in World Civilization, and the World History Syllabus Collection.

Kevin developed the "Modern Global Migrations" globe at Ellis Island's Museum of the History of Immigration as an expert in immigration history. His research into the history of racism led to the publication of Racism: A Global Reader, which he edited.

He was a Fulbright scholar in Brazil and Jordan, as well as a recipient of National Endowment for the Humanities fellowships in Greece, Oxford, and India. He was voted Distinguished Educator of the Year by the Community College Humanities Association in 1992.

Professor Reilly has served on a number of committees including the American Historical Association's governing council. The World History Association presented him with the World History Pioneer award in 2010. He recently published The Human Journey: A Concise Introduction to World History and is the author of the best-selling textbook Worlds of History: A Comparative Reader used in many colleges.

The Human Journey, 2nd Edition (PDF) offers a truly concise yet satisfyingly complete world history from ancient times to the present. As the title implies, the ebook’s scope is the whole story of humanity in a planetary context. Its themes include not only the great questions of the humanities—nature versus nurture, the history, and meaning of human variation, the sources of wealth and causes of revolution—but also the significant transformations in human history: iron, writing, agriculture, cities, industrialization, popular government, universal religions, global trade, justice, and equality.

Kevin Reilly concentrates on a single important period and theme in each conceptually rich chapter, sustaining a focused narrative and analytical perspective. Free of a confined, limiting focus or a mandatory list of topics, this textbook begins with our most important questions and searches all of our past for answers. Well-grounded in the latest scholarship, this is not a fill-in-the-blanks text, but world history in a grand humanistic tradition.
