Table of ContentsReviewsIn spirit, global history is an age-old endeavour. At the same time, each manifestation is highly specific to its moment, with its own particular set of constraints and possibilities. Prof. Fernandez-Armesto shows this with aplomb for the Western tradition, not just through the essays, which are judiciously chosen, but also through his introductory remarks, which are written with flare and a telling eye, highlighting the import of their subject for both students and scholars. * Gagandeep S. Sood, Associate Professor, International History Department, London School of Economics, UK * I cannot imagine there's any historian alive who would not benefit from reading this book. It addresses the biggest questions historians ponder, from the most basic - what is history?-to the most profound, including the different drivers of history humans have perceived from the era of biblical prophets to Big History advocates, who dare to calculate history in eons stretching back to the origin of the cosmos. Whether you're a Kantian or Marxist, believe in Big History or Deep History, after reading this book you'll never again be tempted to consider only one perspective is the right one. * Rick Shenkman, Founder of George Washington University's History News Network, USA * Author InformationFelipe Fernandez-Armesto is William P.
