ITEM OVERVIEW
When it comes to world history, battles in tiny corners of Europe and the love affairs of kings often obscure the big picture. This No-Nonsense guide integrates concisely the conventional narratives of dynastic politics and wars with the stories of the continents and communities, the great civilizations of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and the history of the women often missing from standard history texts. This new edition is fully updated and revised to include a section on how the key issues of the 21st century - climate change, 9/11, the Iraq war, corporate power - fit into the broader patterns of world history.
