Book Description
Writing meaningfully about global history is ambitious at best, but this work on the 19th century succeeds. Refreshingly, Osterhammel (Univ. of Konstanz, Germany) does not argue for any grand theory of global change or that any region's periodization should supersede others; the world's cultures were too distinct and insufficiently linked for such a theory to be viable.
