by (germany) Wolfgang Reinhard
About This Novel
In 600 years, Europeans reached all parts of the world, occupied the world, and exploited the world. They also provided many of the incentives and receptive factors that shaped our world today. Because Europe's expansion was not a one-way street but a centuries-long interaction, in Wolfgang Reinhard's magnum opus he unearths what was unique before globalization. The renowned historian describes the expansion of power in time and space before world history, starting with the expansion of ancient Europe and continuing through the Middle Ages and 20th century colonization. Whether the author describes Asian trading systems or plantation slave crafts, or the ecological impacts or political legacy conflicts of European expansion, he arouses the interest of readers other than Europeans with his rich historical knowledge and easy-to-read text.
