Book Synopsis
For most of human history, states and regions were connected by long-distance commerce and war, yet they developed essentially separately. The century after 1750 marked a major shift. An Emerging Modern World, fourth in the six-volume series A History of the World, charts this transformative period outside the West.

Trade Review
Erudite and expansive…An excellent resource for global historians. * Choice *
The authors of this book all display not only the extraordinary range of erudition required to read, master, and summarize [world history] literature but a talent for synthesis and communication as well…The Harvard series in general and the volume under review in particular signal that world history has come of age. -- Patrick O’Brien * Journal of Modern History *
