商品簡介
Adler and Pouwls intend their brief history of civilized life since its inceptions some 5,000 year ago to be used in conjunction with a lecture course in world history at the introductory level. Dealing with the most noteworthy civilizations in world history, they seek a middle path between exhaustive detail and frustrating brevity. They cover from human origins to agrarian communities around 100,000 to 500 BCE; classical civilizations of the world 500 BCE to 800 CE; the post-classical era about 650 to 1500 CE; expanding the webs of interaction about 1400 to 1800; revolutions, ideology, the new imperialism, and the age of empire 1700-1920; and toward a globalized world 1916 to the present.
