Opis

This wide-ranging overview of recent trends and the changing agenda of historical questions compares new approaches--chronological, thematic, regional--not only in the various historical fields such as ancient, medieval, modern and early modern history, political, social, economic and business history, maritime history, diaspora history and gender history; but also for human history as a whole. The result will be essential reading for all those concerned with current developments in historiography.
