About This Item

Harper & Row Publishers, NY, 1979. 1st edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. "In the early chapters, Hugh Thomas considers the origins of life and man as hunter. Later chapters deal with the impact of climate on early history and the coming of agriculture. In the central portion he discusses the intellectual transformation known as the Renaissance, technological advances, and the growth of cities and commerce. The reader is then led with a sure hand through the industrial age and the immense variety of inventions and technical changes since 1750. In the last part of the book, the impact of these technical changes on political and social life is examined. Finally, Thomas traces the disastrous consequences of over-reliance on the state - the First World War, the rise of fascism and nazism, the Second World War and the Cold War." [Dust Jacket] Comprehensive world history. Detailed index. 700 pages. There is a protective mylar cover. STATED 1ST US EDITION.
