The World's History, Volume II: Since 1100 (2nd Edition)

A true exploration of world history, Volume II presents the latter phases of world history through an analysis of three chronological turning points seen through the prisms of eight different themes —origens, cities, empires, religion, trade, migrations, revolutions and technology. Focusing throughout on three major questions — What do we know? How do we know it? What difference does it make? — it helps readers make sense of the immensity of human historical experience. Volume II covers history from migration: 1500-1750, demographic changes, social change: 1688-1914, and exploding technologies:1914-1900s. For individuals interested in a comprehensive, yet manageable presentation of world history.
