The Twentieth-Century World, 1914 to the Present introduces students to six distinct historical themes in 20th century history - politics, economics, religion, technology, migration and the environment. Each theme is set in a social and cultural history framework that emphasizes the commonalities and diversity in human experiences throughout the modern era.

A genuinely global textbook that takes a non-nationalistic approach to history and incorporates events, actors and communities from around the world, Corbally explores the connections, interactions and exploitations of global resources and peoples that were part and parcel of 20th-century history. Economically, the book shows how people were connected by the spread of global capitalism and communism. It explores the spread of traditional religions and philosophies, and traces how technology has increasingly reached into our lives.
This fully revised second edition includes updated historiography throughout plus:

- A new chapter on mobility and migration
- Expanded material on the history of class, race and gender throughout
- Expanded material on modern African history
- New further reading sections at the end of each chapter
- A new companion website

Ideal for undergraduate level students of 20th-century history, this is a book that offers a balanced, multi-perspective approach to recent global history, helping the 21st-century student understand today's world and interrogate commonly held assumptions about its history.
