Now you can discover the world's cultural heritage through QR videos!
A comprehensively revised edition of "Yongseonsaeng World History: A Liberal Arts Guide," a consistent bestseller in the children's and youth world history category since its publication in 2017, has been released.
《Reading World History with Mr. Yong as a Liberal Arts》 is a series that follows the unwavering Korean history bestseller 《Mr. Yong's Bustling Korean History》, and is the world history book most recommended among parents of elementary and middle school students.
Children who find studying world history daunting, children who find memorization uninteresting, and children who are just beginning to take an interest in history.
And I highly recommend it to everyone, including parents who want to study with their children.
Why is it necessary to study world history?
World history is an essential knowledge for living in modern society.
The news reports on events from around the world every day.
From the conflict between the United States and China, the war between Russia and Ukraine, the long-running conflict between Israel and Arab states, to the global climate crisis, all these events are deeply intertwined with world history.
Only by knowing world history can we truly understand today's world.
The importance of world history in schools is growing.
Under the revised curriculum, children will learn world history before Korean history in middle school.
Because there is no world history course in elementary school, children are suddenly exposed to material they have never encountered before.
Because you have to memorize unfamiliar place names, people, events, and years to take the test, it's easy to get the impression that it's stiff and boring.
It is perhaps natural that world history, which begins without background knowledge, may seem difficult for children.
Why is it that when studying world history, we must read “Yongseonsaeng World History as a Liberal Arts”?
Studying world history, like studying Korean history, requires storytelling.
A story with context and flow is not easily forgotten over time.
It also naturally connects with knowledge from other subjects.
This is why children need good storytelling content, not just books for simple memorization.
"Reading World History with Mr. Yong as a Liberal Arts" is a series that explains the major trends of world history from the evolution of mankind to modern society with the question, "Why?"
When Mr. Yong raises a topic from each era, the history class students constantly ask, "Why?"
Mr. Yong naturally explains the context and flow of history while answering children's questions.
The Greco-Persian Wars, the Peloponnesian War, and Alexander the Great, which we had memorized in fragments, are connected as one story.
The study keywords you need to memorize will soon become fun old stories.
To write a book that is both easy to read and profound, the authors, Mr. Yong, consulted not only middle and high school world history textbooks, but also various world history books from Korea and abroad, foreign textbooks from the United States, Germany, and other countries, as well as domestic and international academic papers.
Mr. Yong's greatest strength is delivering balanced and in-depth content at the children's eye level.
The upper elementary grades are the most appropriate time to begin studying world history, both in terms of developmental stage and curriculum.
For children who want to study world history by connecting context and meaning through storytelling, "Reading World History with Yongseonsaeng as Liberal Arts" is the optimal solution.
