Description: Contemporary World History, Paperback by Duiker, William J., ISBN 1285447905, ISBN-13 9781285447902, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK Duiker aims to present a balanced treatment of the most important political, economic, social, and cultural events of the modern era in the context of an integrated and chronologically ordered synthesis. Citing the twentieth century as an era of paradox--great industrial growth and abject poverty, rising global interdependence and burgeoning ethnic and national consciousness, scientific growth and fervent religiosity--Duiker chronicles key events while illuminating some of the underlying issues that shaped the times, while seeking to achieve a balance between global and regional approaches. He asks: did the last century mark the end of Western dominance? Why has a time of great prosperity and technological advance been accompanied by deep poverty? Sixteen chapters are divided into five parts: new world in the making; cultures in collision; across the ideological divide; third world rising; the new millennium.
