Features: The Global History is the author's most important work, divided into The World Before 1500 and The World Since 1500 in two volumes. This book is the The World Since 1500 volume. The book features new material and a broad scope, covering not only politics and economics but also military, culture, education, religion, science and technology, population, immigration, racial relations, moral standards, and ideological consciousness. It incorporates the latest achievements in world history research over the past two decades and dedicates significant space to the history of the world since World War II. As a result, the book reads refreshingly new and vivid, with a strong sense of reality. In terms of content, the author makes appropriate selections from complex historical materials, concisely describes various historical events, and provides insightful commentary along the way, with lively writing. In terms of writing techniques, each chapter begins with a brief summary to connect with the preceding content and facilitate understanding the overall narrative, and each chapter ends with a selected bibliography for further study. The book is well-organized and structurally complete, making it comparable to a small-scale encyclopedia of world history.
