A millennium ago, a traveler to Baghdad or the Chinese capital Kaifeng would have encountered a vast and thriving metropolis adorned with expansive streets, lush gardens, and sophisticated urban amenities. In contrast, Paris, Rome, and London were congested and unhygienic clusters of villages, and Europe was a remote and backward region. How, then, did Europe ascend to global preeminence over the ensuing centuries? This is the central historical enigma of our time.
"How Europe Made the Modern World" harnesses the latest scholarship exploring the diverse factors that shaped the West's divergence, encompassing geography, demography, technology, culture, institutions, science, and economics. It deftly avoids the pitfalls of Eurocentrism and anti-Westernism, highlighting the significant contributions of other cultures worldwide to the West's ascendancy while refuting the notion that Europe lacked distinctiveness in the premodern era. Author Daly offers a concise overview of the ongoing debate, presenting his own thought-provoking arguments.
Drawing from a diverse array of primary and secondary sources, including maps and images to elucidate crucial evidence, this book fosters critical thinking and encourages students to engage in spirited debates rather than accepting a singular narrative of the West's rise. It serves as an excellent primer for students enrolled in courses on Western Civilization and World History.
