About the Book

In Forging the Modern World: A History, Third Edition, authors James Carter and Richard Warren offer an accessible explanation of key transformations in global economic, political, and ideological relationships since the fourteenth century. The book is distinct from most world history texts in three important ways. First, it explores the ways in which historians use and produce information. Each chapter delves deeply into one or two specific issues of historical inquiry related to the chapter theme, showing how new primary sources, methodologies, or intellectual trends have changed how we engage with the past. Second, it clearly explains the political, economic, and ideological concepts that students need to understand in order to compare events and trends across time and space. Finally, the chapters are organized around global historical themes, which are explored through an array of conceptual and comparative lenses. While the book chapters proceed chronologically, each chapter is written with some chronological overlap linking it to preceding and subsequent chapters. This strategy emphasizes the interconnectedness between the events and themes of one chapter and those of surrounding chapters.

Review :
This textbook doesn't try to be a comprehensive history of everything that happened in the last 500+ years; instead it focuses on a single narrative encapsulated by the title, Forging the Modern World. The authors are also transparent about their process of historical reasoning, and I use that transparency with my students to demystify historical thinking skills like honing arguments and using sources as evidence. It's a great book, the best for this particular class by far. I've designed my entire course-which I've now taught five times face to face and twice online-around this textbook." - Eric Limbach, Ohio State University Forging the Modern World's major strength is its accessibility for students. The narrative is concise and readable yet still does a wonderful job of including major scholarship and relevant interpretation. I know my students are reading this book-for the first time in years, students are making comments or asking questions in class that refer to material in the text. This allows for classroom discussions and opportunities for me to expand on topics that students would have glazed over in previous texts.
