The Twentieth-Century World,1914 to the Present, is a comprehensive textbook that delves into five distinct historical themes that shaped the 20th century: politics, economics, religion, technology, and the environment. Within a social and cultural history framework, the book emphasizes the shared experiences and diverse perspectives of human beings throughout this era. This textbook takes a non-nationalistic approach to history, striving to avoid marginalizing the roles of non-western actors and societies.

John Corbally, the author, explores the intricate connections, interactions, and exploitations of global resources and peoples that played a significant part in 20th-century history. Economically, the book sheds light on the ways in which people were interconnected through the spread of global capitalism and communism. It examines the dissemination of traditional religions and philosophies across the globe, as well as the challenges posed by secularism. Additionally, it considers the profound impact of technology on individuals' lives.

Ideal for undergraduate students studying 20th-century history, this textbook offers a balanced and multi-perspective approach to recent global history. It equips students with the knowledge and tools to understand the world of today and challenge commonly held assumptions about its historical trajectory. By delving into these five themes, The Twentieth-Century World provides a comprehensive foundation for students to explore the complexities and interconnectedness of the past and shape their understanding of the present and future.
