Excellent book for someone with an interest in a broad overview of Modern European (mostly) history. The book has some fantastic illustrations, maps, and photographs from various historical periods. The breadth of coverage is quite incredible, though as you'd expect, the depth will suffer. To be fair, it's impossible to compress so much history in a single book without leaving something out. It would take volumes to fully address all of the important aspects mentioned in this book. Overall, Roberts does a brilliant job of providing an extensive overview of modern history from a bird's eye view. Definitely a worth-while read and looks great.

In Modern History, the story of humankind's epic history continues from the European Renaissance to the present. Beginning with the establishment of a new Europe looking confidently outward to the world beyond the continent, a compelling and dramatic narrative traces developments across the centuries of empire, industrial growth and innovation, revolutions and world wars, through to the emergence of the globalized era-- a fast-changing, interconnected, and non-Eurocentric world beset with environmental concerns and the terrible threats posed by terrorism, and the onset of a truly global economy with the rise of industrialized Asia. This book brings fully up to date what is, essentially, the story of ourselves, and of the brilliant successes and dismal failures we have experienced in our attempts to assert our values, create a civilized world, and control our destiny. Authoritative, brilliantly written, and superbly illustrated, this outstanding work of popularizing scholarship makes modern history, from the European Age to the new global era, vivid and accessible as never before. It is a narrative of drama, innovation, empire, discovery, faith, turmoil, and hope. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
