Why else does everyone speak English, listen to hip-hop, and want to buy Mercedes?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eStarting with the Enlightenment, Europeans developed big ideas that have increased opportunities for people around the world and raised standards of living. But those same ideas have also produced wars, genocide, colonialism, and the potential for global environmental disaster. This book describes the origins and legacy of this mixed bag of ideas which includes everything from democracy and feminism to those old foes, communism and capitalism. After all, it's a bag which still shapes how most people on the planet look at things today.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn a natural, funny and engaging style, \u003ci\u003eSo, About Modern Europe...\u003c\/i\u003e expertly guides readers through the good, the bad and the indifferent of modern European history, convincingly arguing the need to 'tip the cap' to the Enlightenment and its influence along the way.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Imhoof\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350148695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350148697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"David Imhoof","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43978462298367,"sku":"9781350148697","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_218a3fe5-f54f-4bd2-adc7-d4083b7df1b4.jpg?v=1683241672","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/so-about-modern-europe-david-imhoof-9781350148697","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
