A Global History: From Prehistory to the Present

History

Ancient Civilizations

This exploration of world history takes an interdisciplinary, global (rather than a regional or national) approach - tracing those major forces, movements, and events that had a world-wide impact. Surveying a full sweep of world history, the sixth edition provides a balanced coverage of both Eastern and Western regions, from earliest man to the present day. It combines all the information contained in "The World to 1500" and "The World Since 1500", but includes new material on the following: the earliest humans, Africa, European expansion in the age of discovery plus comparative data on Russian expansion, information on plant and animal diffusion in the modern world, and new information on the Portuguese slave trade. In particular this new edition connects the past, present and future and the combination of resulting patterns, drawing implications for the future should those patterns emerge once again.

With a new introduction by TRAIAN STOIANOVICH  A monumental work of scholarship, The Balkans Since 1453 stands as one of the great accomplishments of European historiography. Long out of print, Stavrianos' opus both synthesizes the existing literature of Balkan studies since World War I and demonstrates the centrality of the Balkans to both European and world history, a centrality painfully apparent in recent years. At last, the cornerstone book for every student of Balkan history, culture and politics is now available once again.

By applying the brand new historical opinions and methods, the author regards the whole world as an indivisible organic unity, to inspect the generation and development of human civilization across the whole world from the global perspective rather than just a country or a region, with the focus on the several history movements, historical events and their mutual relations and influences that play significant role to the human historical process, which tries to reflect the confrontation of part and the whole as well as their mutual function. Once came, this book enjoys a high praise from the famous historians Arnold Joseph Toynbee and Geoffrey Barraclough, which is translated into several languages, with wide spread and great influence.
