A Global History
by L.S. Stavrianos
This best-selling, classic exploration of world history takes an interdisciplinary global (rather than a regional or national) approach—tracing those major forces, movements, and events that have had a world-wide impact. It stresses connections between the past, present and future, emphasizing the question "What does it mean for us today?" The Seventh Edition reevaluates the course of human history with an eye toward the millennium, reflecting in its coverage the end of the cold war and the dawning possibilities for a new type of global history.

Lords of the Horizons : A History of the Ottoman Empire
Goodwin, Jason
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Henry Holt & Company, 2000. Cover and pages clean and unmarked; spine is uncreased. Slight yellowing along page edges. 352 pp., includes index. Illustrated. "For six hundred years, the Ottoman Empire swelled and declined. Islamic, martial, civilized, and tolerant, it advanced in three centuries from the dusty foothills of Anatolia to rule on the Danube and the Nile; at its height, Indian rajahs and the kings of France beseeched the empire's aid. In its last three hundred years the empire seemed ready to collapse, a prodigy of survival and decay. In this striking evocation of the empire's power, Jason Goodwin explores how the Ottomans rose and how, against all odds, they lingered on. In doing so, he also offers a long look back to the origins of problems that plague present-day Kosovars and Serbs.". Trade Paperback. Near Fine/No Jacket (as issued). 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
