{"product_id":"long-waves-duncan-fraser-9781300937654","title":"Long-Waves: Political and Economic Change in the Modern World","description":"Historians, philosophers and social scientists have offered a wide variety of explanations as to how human history advances. Most of these explanations have been based on the linear development model of humans moving from a less advanced to a more advance state of existence - the Whig version of history - one of continuing progression. This version, however, has been challenged by conservatives who see no evident pattern to human history - often citing prolonged periods of continuity and occasional periods of reverse. This book offers a bridge between the two approaches by following the cyclical tradition of explaining human history. Modern societies have clearly seen political, economic and social advances, but these have followed a cyclical pattern and have experienced repeating periods of advance, continuity and occasional reverse. This book traces and explains the key cyclical developments of the modern world in order to offer a full and comprehensive understanding of the modern social era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Duncan Fraser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1300937653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781300937654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.38d","brand":"Duncan Fraser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444522922239,"sku":"9781300937654","price":16.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0cb20411-9d1c-4203-bb8e-b7abd37281a9.jpg?v=1777212827","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/long-waves-duncan-fraser-9781300937654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
