Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description Of all the centuries in recorded history, none has seen more change, none has ended more differently than it began, than the twentieth. In 1900, Queen Victoria still ruled over England, the Imperial Manchu dynasty over China, and the Romanov Tsars over Russia. The cinema was in its infancy,radio and television still to be discovered. The first cars were on the road, but air travel existed only in earthbound imaginations. And now, as Yeats said, all is 'changed utterly.'In this ambitious book, twentyfour of the most distinguished scholars in the world survey the momentous events and the significant themes of the twentieth century in compact, scholarly essays. The contributors tackle political issues region by region as well as nonpolitical topics in subjects suchas physics, modernism in art, international economics, and the impact of new technologies on culture. The authors trace the continuities which have persisted over the past hundred years and analyze the changes which have marked the century's progress. Early chapters take a global overview of thecentury as a whole, from a variety of perspectivesdemographic, scientific, economic, and cultural. Further chapters chart the century's course, continent by continent and region by region, all written by acknowledged experts.Beautifully illustrated with both color and black and white plates, and with a detailed chronology, suggestions for further reading, and a full index, The Oxford History of the Twentieth Century is an invaluable repository of information and insight about the endlessly fascinating century in whichwe live. Review 'The talent to economically condense a subject as these authors do...does not grow on trees; some of them have written outstanding works recently, for example, physicist Steven Weinberg and U.S. historian James Patterson. This work, therefore, is a highpowered lecture series that if held at auniversity would cost big tuition bucks. Oxford's volume, less dear and just as rewarding, covers all regions of the globe.'Booklist'An extraordinary tourdeforce.'The Washington Times'And although spave precludes individual discussion of their essays, the mere list of names testifies to the high quality of the volume as a whole.....an extraordinary tour de force.' Elizabeth FoxGenovese, Emory University'A big a achievement: a model of ambition without pretension, of compression without compromises.'The London Times About the Author Michael Howard is former Regius Professor of Modern History, University of Oxford.
