VOLUME VII
Since 1750, the world has become ever more connected, with
processes of production and destruction no longer limited by
land- or water-based modes of transport and communication.
Volume VII of the Cambridge World History series, divided into
twobooks,offersavarietyofanglesofvisionontheincreasingly
interconnected history of humankind. The first book examines
structures,spaces,andprocesseswithinwhichandthroughwhich
the modern world was created, including the environment,
energy, technology, population, disease, law, industrialization,
imperialism, decolonization, nationalism, and socialism, along
with key world regions. The second book questions the extent
to which the transformations of the modern world have been
shared, focusing on social developments such as urbanization,
migration,andchangesinfamilyandsexuality;culturalconnec-
tions through religion, science, music, and sport; ligaments of
globalization including rubber, drugs, and the automobile; and
momentsofparticularimportancefromtheAtlanticrevolutions
to1989.

the cambridge world history
The Cambridge World History is an authoritative new
overview of the dynamic field of world history. It covers
the whole of human history, not simply history since the
development of written records, in an expanded time
frame that represents the latest thinking in world and
global history. With over two hundred essays, it is the
most comprehensive account yet of the human past, and
itdrawsonabroadinternationalpoolofleadingacademics
from a wide range of scholarly disciplines. Reflecting the
increasing awareness that world history can be examined
through many different approaches and at varying
geographic and chronological scales, each volume offers
regional, topical, and comparative essays alongside case
studies that provide depth of coverage to go with the
breadth of vision that is the distinguishing characteristic
ofworldhistory.
