A History of Europe in the Modern World delves into how Europe's
history has contributed to the development of the modern world and
an increasingly global society. The twelfth edition of this classic
text links specific nations, movements, and landmark events in
European history to broader historical themes and problems that
have shaped the contemporary era. Readers of this text will learn
about Europe's past within the context of key historical trends,
including the rise of industry and a global economy; the
development of science, technology, and new forms of knowledge;
social, cultural, and political movements; evolving views of human
rights; and the complex relations between European nations and the
wider world.
John Colton is a meticulous researcher and a fine craftsman. In his
political biography of Leon Blum, these two qualities are
beautiully blended; none of the available evidence appears to have
been over looked, and the enormous mass of variegated material has
been transmuted in a polished, richly tapestried, and absorbing
narrative.
As the new title reflects, Palmer's "A History of Europe in the
Modern World" maintains its well-established historical authority,
while focusing more specifically on Europe's prominent role in
modern global exchanges, nation building, transnational commercial
systems, colonial empires, and cultural transitions. Combining
concise accounts of specific nations and national differences with
a wide-ranging, comparative analysis of international events, this
updated edition of a classic text carefully examines the whole
modern history of Europeans and their perpetually changing
societies.
