Europe Emerges Transition Toward an Industrial World Wide Society, 1600-1750

This account of the emergence of Europe into a community that was to achieve world domination brings to the student and general reader alike a new approach to European history. Professor Reynolds has combined a description of the social and economic development of Europe with a discussion of what effects its economy had upon other societies throughout the world. It is a continuous story in which the many complex strands are woven into a satisfactory whole with a remarkable breadth of scope and meticulousness of detail.
