The study of mankind’s history is the most important study there is. The Foundations of the Modern World: A Student’s Guide to World History Vol. 2 employs five major ideas to help the student to sort out all the dates, places, and names they will encounter in a college-level introductory World History course. The Columbian Exchange, the Rise of the West to world dominance, the ideologies of Nationalism and Democracy, the economic and social transformations of the Industrial Revolution and Capitalism, and the continuing processes of Globalization and Acceleration are presented as a useful framework through which individual nations and the totality of human Civilization can be analyzed and understood.
Maps, illustrations, and charts accompany the text. Each chapter features a detachable assignment worksheet. The book concludes with a descriptive list of suggested works by prominent historians in the fi eld of World History. The Foundations of the Modern World is designed to accompany any standard World History textbook and to provide “food for thought” suitable for class discussion and short writing assignments.
