The World Transformed: Modern Civilization Since 1648 is an
innovative text that combines key topics in world history and
western civilization. Rather than approaching history and
civilization as a purely chronological study, the book considers
the differing approaches to life and politics that prevailed at
various times and in various places. Beginning with the rise of the
sovereign state, the 12 chapters explore intellectual
transformation in 17th and 18th Century Europe, globalization and
war in the early modern period, traditional East Asian states,
Muslim empires, and the emergence of the nation-state. Students
learn about political transformation and modernizing forces in the
19th Century, the modernization of warfare, and challenges to
western modernity and the developing world. The second edition
features a greater focus on world history and new material that
addresses contemporary issues and modern health crises such as the
Ebola epidemic, AIDS crisis, and coronavirus pandemic. The text
includes a new index to assist students with referencing materials
and a redesigned interior. Helping students better understand what
it means to be a part of modern civilization and have a modern
worldview, The World Transformed is well-suited to classes in world
history, western or modern civilization, and the history of
globalization.

became an outcast shaman has had bloody visions of the end that
