The signature workshop/short course of the Center for Global Awareness is based on the (forthcoming) book Waves of Global Change: A Holistic Approach to World History. This unique, “big picture” approach to world history spans a broad sweep of time from the big bang to the present. The overarching development of humans through time and space organizes this world history into five major transformations or critical turning points called waves. Each wave is holistic, meaning that it has distinctive cultural characteristics or patterns that reinforce each other. Illuminating our long human history can help us learn its valuable lessons. Also included is a complete, on-line teacher resource.
