The First World War
Exploring World History
Series Editors
John McNeill, etown University
Jerry Bentley, University of Hawai`i
As the world grows ever more closely linked, students and general readers
alike are appreciating the need to e internationally aware. World his-
tory offers the crucial connection to understanding past global links and how
they influence the present. The series will expand that awareness by offering
clear, concise supplemental texts for the undergraduate classroom as well as
trade books that advance world history scholarship.
The series will be open to books taking a thematic approach—-
modities such as sugar, cotton, and petroleum; technologies; diseases; and the
like; or regional—for example, Islam in Southeast Asia or east Africa, the
Indian Ocean, or the Ottoman Empire. The series sees regions not simply
as fixed geographical entities but as evolving spatial frameworks that have
reflected and shaped the movement of people, ideas, goods, capital, institu-
tions, and information. Thus, regional books would move beyond traditional
borders to consider the flows that have characterized the global system.
Edited by two of the leading historians in the field, this series will work to
synthesize world history for students, engage general readers, and expand the
boundaries for scholars.
