Review
"Follows a relatively new trend among historians to abandon their sometimes narrow parochialism in favour of 'world history' his volume deals with more thematic issues like industrialization, the empowerment of women, the rise of environmental concerns and multinational corporations." - Foreign Affairs
"Magnificently detailed, brilliantly written...An extraordinarily readable global history." - Parade Magazine
