Why the West rules-for now : the patterns of history, and what they reveal about the future / Ian Morris
Livre
Edited by Profile books - 2011
Why does the West rule? And with the rise of China and India, how long will its power last? In this critically-acclaimed bestseller, eminent historian and archaeologist Ian Morris provides provocative answers. Morris explains that only by exploring the whole of human civilisation can we see why development differed in the East and West. And only when we know this story - told here with unique flair and authority - can we predict the impact of the astonishing changes that face us. A gripping and truly history of the world, based on the latest research across disciplines from ancient history to neuroscience, "Why the West rules - for now" is already a modern classic.
