Horizon of Macro-history (Chinese Edition)

This book focuses on great people and events having influenced world history. Each chapter introduces two historical figures, both living in the similar period, but with different cultural, economical and political backgrounds. Adopting historical thinking, the author interprets how the two handle the same problems and thus change their life respectively. This new edition adds a chapter on Boudica and Zenobia, and a chapter on Islam theologian Ansari and Christian theologian Aquinas; the last chapter about Mandela and Martin Luther King is also new. The renewal in this edition aims to reflect the latest academic research findings.
