商品簡介
A book that moves from coverage of Galileo and Karl Marx to Osama bin Laden and Thomas Friedman's The World is Flat is necessarily broad. And this work by Mazlish, an emeritus professor of history at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology fits the bill. It presents a sweeping coverage of the past 500 years in two stages: modernity and globalization, with the latter marked by increasing interdependency among nations and widespread interactions of people everywhere. Mazlish takes the year 1989 to be particularly important, and focuses a whole chapter on events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the crushing of Chinese protests in Tiananmen Square.
