Povijest svijeta od početka do danas

The book begins with the emergence of the first civilizations (Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China), describing their contributions to writing, science, and social organization. It follows the ancient world, with an emphasis on Greece and Rome, whose ideas shaped Western civilization. The Middle Ages encompass the rise of Christianity, Islam, and feudalism, while the Renaissance and Reformation bring intellectual and religious revival. Bleicken describes in detail colonialism, the Enlightenment, and the Industrial Revolutions, which transformed global relations. The modern era covers the world wars, the Cold War, decolonization, and globalization, with an emphasis on the technological and political changes of the 20th and 21st centuries. The book stands out for its clear style, emphasizing the interconnectedness of world events and their impact on the present day. Bleicken avoids Eurocentrism, including perspectives from non-Western cultures. Intended for a general audience, the book is ideal for those who want to understand continuity and change in global history.
