Media Reviews
"Theodore Zeldin is the most ambitious of social historians...[He] has engaged in a thought experiment worth pursuing. What he is asking readers to do is make a Pascalian wager on kindness and civility. Human aggressiveness may still give him the lie; but what have we to lose by betting on the future?" -- Peter Gay
-- New York Times Book Review

The Earth And Its Peoples
by Richard W. Bulliet
This text provides a truly global approach to the world history survey. Its fundamental theme—the interaction of human beings and the environment—serves as a point of comparison for different times, places, and societies. Special emphasis is given to technology and how technological development underlies all human activity. The Third Edition combines strong scholarship and pedagogy to uphold the book's reputation for rigor and accessibility. Several features, such as detailed maps (five of which are new to this edition), images, and timelines, help students build their geography and comparative analysis skills. Illustrated "Environment and Technology" boxes reinforce the central theme of the text by highlighting and comparing technological developments over time. The total number of chapters has been reduced from 35 to 34 by combining the chapters on Western and Eastern Eurasia, 1200–1500. Chapters 3 and 4 (from 200 to 250 B.C.E) have been completely reorganized for more cohesive presentation. Updated coverage of recent events and developments includes new maps of worldwide stresses on fresh water supply, global economic and trade groups, and country-by-country GDP. "Diversity and Dominance" boxes highlight primary sources of substantial length; Chapters 1, 12, and 23 feature visual sources. Students are invited to explore the meaning and significance of each passage or image through a series of focus questions.

An Intimate History of Humanity
Theodore Zeldin
Harpercollins. Very Good. Very Good/ Very Good: remainder mark on bottom page edge, otherwise totally clean & unmarked inside & out, excellent copy From Library Journal This groundbreaking book by an internationally renowned historian and prolific author is so wide-ranging in scop. Implicit in Zeldin's work is a challenge to traditional historians who have heretofore pigeonholed their accounts of the human past into discrete cubicles (social, economic, political history, etc.). By contrast, Zeldin attempts a history of human thoughts and feelings unfettered by considerations of historical epoch or culture. Each chapter focuses on a particular thought or feeling, such as toil, the art of conversation, voluntarism, compassion, attitudes on class and social status, and authority. To organize his ideas, Zeldin employs a masterful new technique. After introducing each chapter with a personal vignette based on interviews he has conducted with individuals musing on the meaning of some aspect of their lives, Zeldin traces changes or commonalities in that feeling across time and place. General readers will be inspired by this thought-provoking and immensely readable work.?Marie Marmo Mullaney, Caldwell Coll., N.J. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. Book Description A provocative work that explores the evolution of emotions and personal relationships through diverse cultures and time. "An intellectually dazzling view of our past and future."--Time magazine --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Edition: 1st U.S. ed.
