Book - Paperback

706 In 1648, Europe was essentially a medieval society. By 1815, it was the powerhouse of the modern world. In exuberant prose, Tim Blanning investigates 'the very hinge of European history' (The New York Times) between the end of the Thirty Y ears' War and the Battle of Waterloo that witnessed five of the modern world's great revolutions: scientific, industrial, American, French, and romantic. Blanning renders this vast subject digestible and absorbing by making fresh connections between the most mundane details of life and the major cultural, political, and technological transformations that birthed the modern age. 9780140166675 C2O library Online catalog (BETA) 940.2 BLA Pur 3859 C2O library & collabtive (Fiction & Literature) 8000 ThePursuitOfGloryEurope134418_f.jpg 3750 2015-01-02 09:50:52 2015-01-02 09:50:52 machine generated
