"World History (Illustrated Revised Edition)" Translation by Fei Xiaotong and others. This time we used the 1975 translation, replaced it with a large number of exquisite and interesting illustrations, and wrote rich and diverse illustrations to show the style of the original work. Although this book was written nearly a century ago, it is still useful and interesting to read today. It divides the long process from the emergence of human civilization to the end of World War II in 1945 into four stages - the beginning of civilization, classical civilization, Christian civilization, and modern civilization - to introduce it, focusing especially on the development path of Western civilization. The writing is brisk, the exposition is precise, and it often provides refreshing insights. The author is good at revealing the general trend of history from details. In a short space of time, he presents a vivid and colorful picture of the development of civilization that includes both upper-class elites and ordinary people's daily lives. "History of the Modern World (Part 1 and 2)" Since its first publication in 1950, "History of the Modern World" written by Palmer and others has been hailed as a palace-level historical academic textbook and has been widely used as a teaching material. In the past 60 years, the author has continuously revised this book, and it is now in its 10th edition. This book is rich in content and broad in scope, using more than a million words to explain the rise of modern Europe, a global event. In the author's writing, Europe (or the West), which was once unknown, has gradually created a world system in politics, economy, military, science and technology that radiates around the world in more than 500 years from the beginning of the 16th century to the present.
