What is Patterns of World History: Volume Two: From 1400 with Sources about?

2 volumes : 26 cm Patterns of World History offers a distinct framework for understanding the global past through the study of origins, interactions, and adaptations. The authors offer a distinct intellectual framework for the role of innovation and historical change through patterns of origins, interactions, and adaptations. Each small or large technical or cultural innovation originated in one geographical center or independently in several different centers. As people in the centers interacted with their neighbors, the neighbors adapted to--and in many cases were transformed by--the innovations. By "adaptation" the authors include the entire spectrum of human responses, ranging from outright rejection to creative borrowing and, at times, forced acceptance. The authors' use of a broad-based understanding of continuity, change, and innovation allows them to restore culture in all its individual and institutionalized aspects--spiritual, artistic, intellectual, scientific--to its rightful place alongside technology, environment, politics, and socioeconomic conditions. - from Amazon Includes bibliographical references and index V. 1. to 1600 -- v. 2. from 1400
