現代世界史後篇:一八七○年起

Rate this book
本書探討民族國家的興起,以及過去幾個世紀已深深影響世界的各種衝突,然而它把這些轉變和事件都聯繫到廣泛的歷史性影響,例如經濟、科技技術發展、工業興起、思想傳播,以及西方文化與世界上其他各種文化之間的複雜關係。此外,更加入了地圖、圖表和插圖,使讀者更易閱讀和消化。

自1950年出版以來,帕爾默等人所著的現代世界史便一直是經典的歷史教科書,廣泛採用作為教材。於2002年過世的帕爾默教授更被公認為同時代最頂級的歷史學家之一。在近60年的時間裡,本書作者不斷修訂,目前已是第10版,銷量在同類作品中一直名列前矛,且被譯成瑞典語、芬蘭語、波斯語、阿拉伯語、西班牙語、義大利語、漢語等多國語言,不僅是美國世界史教科書中讀者最多、影響最大的一部,也是西方最受歡迎的世界史教材。

Robert Roswell Palmer (January 11, 1909 – June 11, 2002), commonly known as R. R. Palmer, was a distinguished American historian at Princeton and Yale universities, who specialized in eighteenth-century France. His most influential work of scholarship, The Age of the Democratic Revolution: A Political History of Europe and America, 1760–1800 (1959 and 1964), examined an age of democratic revolution that swept the Atlantic civilization between 1760 and 1800. He was awarded the Bancroft Prize in History for the first volume. Palmer also achieved distinction as a history text writer.

本書一開始就講明是以歐洲為主軸來寫的世界史,巧妙的避開了作者群對其它文明歷史的不熟悉而專注在自己所擅長的部分…這本是上下冊中的下冊,範圍是一戰之後的世界進程,歷史往往越靠近現代史料會越多,事態也越複雜,雖然身為通史不能也不方便寫的太細,但仍對中東、以巴、東南亞、非洲等地在二次大戰後的恩恩怨怨有相當清楚的梳理,如果想找一本不錯的世界史來讀的話,這套上下冊是很不錯的入門書。
