A Thousand Years of Europa: a History of Breaking Borders
About This Novel
"A Thousand Years of Europa" is a comprehensive review of the basic social features, political and economic development, science and technology education and other aspects of Europe from the 11th to the 20th century by Ian Mortimer, who has a PhD in Literature from the University of Exeter and a MA in Archives from University College London. The author focuses on the changes that occurred in each century compared with the previous century, thus highlighting the subjective initiative of Europeans in historical development. This is a journey about exploration, invention, revolution and upheaval. Professor Mortimer talks about the ten people and fifty major events that changed human life. Is the advent of computers more important than education for all? Is abolishing slavery more important than inventing the computer? Or is the discovery of the American continent most important? Is it the emergence of mobile phones, frozen food, contraceptive methods, clocks, guns, and printed books that change human life?
