A concise and original guide to the concepts, methods, debates and contents of world history, it combines a thematic approach with a clear and ambitious focus.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEach chapter traces connections with the past and the present to explore major questions in world history:\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHow did humans evolve from an endangered species to the most successful of them all?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHow has nature shaped human history?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHow did agricultural societies push human history in a new direction?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHow has humankind organized itself in ever more complex administrative systems?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHow have we developed new religious and cultural patterns?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHow have the paths of 'The West' and 'The Rest' diverged over the last five centuries?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHow, at the same time, has the world become more interconnected and \"globalized\"?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHow is this world characterized by growing gaps in wealth, poverty and inequality?\n\u003cbr\u003e\nSharp and accessible, Eric Vanhaute's introduction to this exciting field demonstrates that world history is more of a perspective than a single all-encompassing narrative: an instructive new way of seeing, thinking and doing. It is an essential resource for students of history in a global context.","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Used - very good","offer_id":53381758550358,"sku":"9780415535793-V","price":4.59,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53490030608726,"sku":"9780415535793-G","price":2.69,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780415535793_1.jpg?v=1778061366","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/eric-vanhaute-world-history-9780415535793","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
