  • - Southeast Asia in Global Context, c.800-1830
    von Victor B. Lieberman
    55,00 - 126,00 €

    Lieberman argues that over a thousand years, each of mainland Southeast Asia's great lowland corridors experienced a pattern of accelerating integration punctuated by recurrent collapse. These trajectories were synchronized not only between corridors but, most curiously, between the mainland as a whole, much of Europe, and other sectors of Eurasia.

  • - Southeast Asia in Global Context, c.800-1830
    von Victor B. Lieberman
    69,00 - 196,00 €

    This book seeks both to integrate Southeast Asia into world history and to rethink much of Eurasia's premodern past. It argues that Southeast Asia, Europe, Japan, China, and South Asia all embodied idiosyncratic versions of a hitherto unrecognized pattern of political and cultural integration that was governed by Eurasian-wide climatic, commercial, and military stimuli.

  • - Essays on Europe, Islam and World History
    von Marshall G. S. Hodgson
    46,00 - 120,00 €

    Is the history of the modern world the history of Europe? Or is it possible to situate the history of modernity as a world historical process apart from its origins? This text challenges adherents of Eurocentrism and multiculturalism to rethink the roles of Europe and Islamic civilisation in world history.

    von Houston) Ward & Kerry (Rice University
    46,00 €

    von Amsterdam) Bosma & Ulbe (International Institute of Social History

  • von Philip D. Curtin
    72,00 €

    A single theme is pursued in this book - the trade between peoples of differing cultures through world history. Extending from the ancient world to the coming of the commercial revolution, Professor Curtin's discussion encompasses a broad and diverse group of trading relationships. Drawing on insights from economic history and anthropology, Professor Curtin has attempted to move beyond a Europe-centred view of history, to one that can help us understand the entire range of societies in the human past. Examples have been chosen that illustrate the greatest variety of trading relationships between cultures. The opening chapters look at Africa, while subsequent chapters treat the ancient world, the Mediterranean trade with China, the Asian trade in the east, and European entry into the trade with maritime Asia, the Armenian trade carriers of the seventeenth century, and the North American fur trade. Wide-ranging in its concern and the fruit of exhaustive research, the book is nevertheless written so as to be accessible and stimulating to the specialist and the student alike.
