The best-selling Twentieth-Century World text covers recent world history by focusing on themes of global interrelatedness, identity and difference, the rise of mass society, and technology versus nature. The text presents balanced coverage of political, economic, social, scientific, artistic, and military history, allowing for a fully rounded understanding of the contemporary world. A comparative timeline examines major historical events from around the globe. The discussion of the late 20th century highlights political reforms, technological advances, and the changing economy. This edition features a stronger focus on non-Western nations.
