{"product_id":"9781442205338","title":"A Concise History of Modern Europe: Liberty, Equality, Solidarity","description":"\u003cp\u003eHighlighting the key events, ideas, and individuals that have shaped modern Europe, this fresh and lively book provides a succinct history of the continent from the Enlightenment to the present. Drawing on the enduring theme of revolution, David S. Mason explores the causes and consequences of revolution: political, economic, and scientific; the development of human rights; and issues of European identity and integration. He deliberately avoids a detailed chronology of every country and time period by emphasizing the most crucial events in shaping contemporary Europe. Fourteen focused chapters address such topical issues as the Enlightenment; the French Revolution and Napoleon; the Industrial Revolution; the theories and impact of Marx and Darwin; the revolutions of 1848, 1917, and 1989; the unifications of Germany and Italy; European imperialism; the two World Wars; the Cold War and decolonization; and the evolution and expansion of the European Union. Any reader needing a broad overview of the sweep of European history since 1789 will find this book, published in a first edition under the title Revolutionary Europe, an engaging and cohesive narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishing Group Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052055412976,"sku":"9781442205338","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442205338_p0.jpg?v=1763796523","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442205338","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
