Rezensionen

"In this period of rapid and unpredictable globalisation, this new edition enables historical insights and perspective that the usual national or language-based surveys just cannot provide. This is the only truly global history of historical writing, from the eighteenth century onward, and it is an essential source for teaching and research. Once again, Georg Iggers and his colleagues have balanced their breadth of knowledge with a lucid style that is a pleasure to read and a reliable source to cite."
