The impression left with the reader at the end of the two volumes is a crucial understanding of imperialism. By shifting the gaze away from Eurocentric frameworks, we are provided with a significant insight into the formation of new empires and dynasties across the globe and throughout time. Perhaps of most significance, these volumes, by placing European colonialism into a global context reveal not only its short-lived and fragile nature, but also point out that imperialism was not a recent phenomenon, in fact the impact of empire has been strong and enduring throughout history. * History: The Journal of the Historical Association *\u003cbr\u003eThe second volume is a tour-de-force narration and analysis of empire building. Through providing a history of history, the second volume successfully not only places the history of empire in the context of other imperial formations, forming to provides the reader with a thorough world history of empire. This is a significant historiographical work that successfully dispels myths about the stagnation of the non-European world, and the dominance of Europe, and yet collectively these chapters allow us to trace and identify deep commonalities in the imperial condition harking back to the third millennium BCE and spanning across the globe and through time. * History: The Journal of the Historical Association *\u003cbr\u003eThe juxtaposition of various empires makes fascinating reading. These very engaging volumes will be a delightful read for any scholars interested in the history of empires. They will also make an excellent addition to any collection as a good general study of empires and an excellent starting point for research into specific empires. Highly recommended. * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eA veritable milestone-a project bringing together the top authorities in academe for a discussion on divergence and commonality of empires across history. The dimensions here are truly global unlike the Eurocentric framework that blighted empire studies from 30 years ago. In that sense and in many other ways, this History is unsurpassed. * Explorations in World History *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVol. II - The History of Empires  List of Contributors Prolegomena       PETER FIBIGER BANG  Part 1.
