Reviews
'Moving beyond the traditional world history narratives focused on empires, countries, or regions, this unique textbook focuses instead on the connections and interactions of empires, city-states, and central states, allowing for a richer and coherent description of the impact of globalization and deglobalization on ordinary people's lives. This new and more comprehensive approach makes this an ideal textbook for many undergraduate courses in sociology, history, and social studies.'
