The Cambridge World History: Volume 5, Expanding Webs of Exchange and Conflict, 500 CE – 1500 CE

In 2015, Cambridge University Press published a seven-volume series titled "The Cambridge World History." The series aimed to offer a comprehensive account of a variety of cultures and communities as they are understood today. The range of the series can be shown by looking at the individual titles:

Volume One: Introducing World History, to 10,000 BCE

Volume Two: A World with Agriculture, 12,000 BCE - 500 CE

Volume Three: Early Cities in Comparative Perspective, 4000 BCE - 1200 CE

Volume Four: A World with States, Empires, and Networks, 1200 BCE - 900 CE

Volume Five: Expanding Webs of Exchange and Conflict, 500 CE - 1500 CE

Volume Six, Part One: The Construction of a Global World, 1400 - 1800 CE: Foundations

Volume Six, Part Two: The Construction of a Global World, 1400 - 1800 CE: Patterns of Change

Volume Seven, Part One: Production, Destruction and Connection, 1750 - Present: Structures, Spaces, and Boundary Making

Volume Seven, Part Two: Production, Destruction, and Connection, 1750 - Present: Shared Transformations

Similar to an encyclopedia, this book makes it easy for readers to pick and choose the individual articles they are interested in studying.

Although this book review is aimed at Volume Five, the comments in this review probably apply to all the books in the series. The editors of the volumes, all of whom are leading academics in the field, have undertaken a massive task in bringing together so many scholarly articles on such a diverse range of topics. Volume Five alone contains 25 essays. The quality of the individual essays seems excellent, as they are well-researched. Contributors to all volumes are established scholars or professors in their specific historical fields. Similar to an encyclopedia, this book makes it easy for readers to pick and choose the individual articles they are interested in studying. For example, one can read only Richard Smith's essay “Trade and Commerce Across Afro-Eurasia” without feeling the chapter is out of context. It is common to conceptualize Europe, Asia, and Africa as different continents when, in fact, they are all joined together geographically and socially through trade routes, expeditions, or wars. The focus on the connections between different societies around the world is one of the strengths of this book. Although the essays contain several maps, the visuals could have been used in a more helpful way.

Seventy-eight years after the liberation of Auschwitz (January 27, 1945) we honor the victims and survivors of one of the darkest periods in human history, and we reflect on the horrific consequences of hatred and prejudice.

While you still may, while yet you re able to roam about freely, choose which lady you'll tell: You are the one meant for me. Never expect her to drop right into your lap from the heavens; she who will please your eyes has to be looked for, and hard! Hunters for deer know just where to spread the nets for their quarry, boar hunters know in which valley they're gnashing their tusks. Hunters for birds know there thickets, and men who handle the fishhook know which waters they'll find brimming with succulent prey. Likewise, you who are hunting for love and enduring affection-" Ovid, Ars Amatoria × × × × × × × × × × × × #poetry #greekmythology #ancientrome #rome #classicliterature #classics #history #lovequotes #worldhistory #ancient #literature #darkacademia #lightacademia #reading #love https://www.instagram.com/p/CedbeF_uRzm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

China in World History (New Oxford World History series)

This is a volume in the New Oxford World History series. According to the Editor’s Preface, the aim of this series is to "offer readers an informed, up-to-date and lively history of the world" that avoids the ethnocentric bias of traditional "world histories" of only focusing on Europe and the United States. This series contains three types of books. First, eight books in the series deal with different periods in world history. Second, certain volumes concern world history using a thematic perspective, focusing on topics such as city, democracy, technology, migration, etc. Finally, there are books that deal with specific countries or regions, and Paul S. Ropp's China in World History belongs to this category.

... the book is a helpful introduction for anyone unfamiliar with Chinese history.

In the book, Ropp states that his goal is to provide an account of Chinese history that places China in a global context. To do this, he focuses on China's historical interactions with foreign countries and compares aspects of Chinese society with others around the world. The book is divided into nine chapters that examine Chinese history in chronological order. Chapter One deals with the earliest periods up to the 3rd century BCE. Chapter Two describes the Qin and Han dynasties (221 BCE - 220 CE). Chapter Three explores the period of disunity from 220 to 589 CE. Chapter Four examines the reunification of China under the Sui and Tang dynasties (618 - 907 CE). Chapter Five recounts events during the Song and Yuan periods (960 - 1368 CE). Chapter Six looks at the early modern period of the Ming and early Qing dynasties (1368 - 1800 CE). Chapter Seven describes the fall and aftermath of the Qing dynasty (1800 - 1920 CE). Chapter Eight deals with the period from 1920 to 1949 and looks at the civil wars, the Japanese invasion, and the rise of the Communist Party. The last chapter is about the People’s Republic of China from 1949 to today.
