The Origins of the Modern World: Fate and Fortune in the Rise of the West
Robert B. Marks
Offers an alternative to Eurocentric histories by exploring the roles that Asia, Africa, and the New World played in creating the world we know. Starting in 1400, this work brings the saga of the modern world, considering how and why the United States emerged as a world power in the 20th century and why Asia is experiencing resurgence.
