Making of a Hinterland
State, Society, and Economy in Inland North China, 1853-1937
AvKenneth Pomeranz
Inbunden, Engelska, 1993
535 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This wholly original reassessment of critical issues in modern Chinese history traces social, economic, and ecological change in inland North China during the late Qing dynasty and the Republic. Using many new sources, Kenneth Pomeranz argues that the development of certain regions entailed the systematic underdevelopment of other regions. He maps changes in local finance, farming, transportation, taxation, and popular protest, and analyzes the consequences for different classes, sub-regions, and genders. Pomeranz attributes these diverse developments to several causes: the growing but incomplete integration of North China into the world economy, the state's abandonment of many hinterland areas and traditional functions, and the effect of local social structures on these processes. He shows that hinterlands were made, not merely found, and were powerfully shaped by the strategies of local groups as well as outside forces.

Environment and World History
AvEdmund Burke III,Kenneth Pomeranz
Häftad, Engelska, 2009
300 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Since around 1500 C.E., humans have shaped the global environment in ways that were previously unimaginable. Bringing together leading environmental historians and world historians, this book offers an overview of global environmental history throughout this remarkable 500-year period. In eleven essays, the contributors examine the connections between environmental change and other major topics of early modern and modern world history: population growth, commercialization, imperialism, industrialization, the fossil fuel revolution, and more. Rather than attributing environmental change largely to European science, technology, and capitalism, the essays illuminate a series of culturally distinctive, yet often parallel developments arising in many parts of the world, leading to intensified exploitation of land and water.The wide range of regional studies - including some in Russia, China, the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia, Latin America, Southern Africa, and Western Europe - together with the book's broader thematic essays makes "The Environment and World History" ideal for courses that seek to incorporate the environment and environmental change more fully into a truly integrative understanding of world history. The contributors include Michael Adas, William Beinart, Edmund Burke-III, Mark Cioc, Kenneth Pomeranz, Mahesh Rangarajan, John F. Richards, Lise Sedrez, and Douglas R. Weiner.

Great Divergence
China, Europe, and the Making of the Modern World Economy
AvKenneth Pomeranz
Häftad, Engelska, 2021
174 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
A landmark comparative history of Europe and China that examines why the Industrial Revolution emerged in the WestThe Great Divergence sheds light on one of the great questions of history: Why did sustained industrial growth begin in Northwest Europe? Historian Kenneth Pomeranz shows that as recently as 1750, life expectancy, consumption, and product and factor markets were comparable in Europe and East Asia. Moreover, key regions in China and Japan were no worse off ecologically than those in Western Europe, with each region facing corresponding shortages of land-intensive products. Pomeranz’s comparative lens reveals the two critical factors resulting in Europe's nineteenth-century divergence—the fortunate location of coal and access to trade with the New World. As East Asia’s economy stagnated, Europe narrowly escaped the same fate largely due to favorable resource stocks from underground and overseas. This Princeton Classics edition includes a preface from the author and makes a powerful historical work available to new readers.

Pacific in the Age of Early Industrialization
AvKenneth Pomeranz
Inbunden, Engelska, 2009

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The essays selected for this volume show how the Pacific rapidly became part of an industrializing world. Its raw materials (notably rubber and copper) were critical, some of its handicraft industries were devastated by mechanized competition, others survived and adapted, contributing to distinctive patterns of industrialization that made Japan a new center of power, and also laid the groundwork for later growth in Taiwan, Korea, and coastal China. The Pacific coast of the Americas was also first drawn into an industrial world largely as an exporter of raw materials, but North and South diverged rapidly, portending futures even more different than those of Northeast and Southeast Asia. By the 1930s - when the uneven effects of industrialization would have much to do with plunging the Pacific into war - one can already glimpse in outline the structural bases for many of the region's contemporary characteristics. All this is set in context in the important introduction by Kenneth Pomeranz.
The Cambridge World History: Volume 7, Production, Destruction and Connection, 1750-Present, Part 1, Structures, Spaces, and Boundary Making
AvJ. R. McNeill,Kenneth Pomeranz
Häftad, Engelska, 2017
481 kr
Since 1750, the world has become ever more connected, with processes of production and destruction no longer limited by land- or water-based modes of transport and communication. Volume 7 of the Cambridge World History series, divided into two books, offers a variety of angles of vision on the increasingly interconnected history of humankind. The first book examines structures, spaces, and processes within which and through which the modern world was created, including the environment, energy, technology, population, disease, law, industrialization, imperialism, decolonization, nationalism, and socialism, along with key world regions.

Volume 7 of the Cambridge World History series, divided into two books, offers a variety of angles of vision on the increasingly interconnected history of humankind. The second book questions the extent to which the transformations of the modern world have been shared, focusing on social developments such as urbanization, migration, and changes in family and sexuality; cultural connections through religion, science, music, and sport; ligaments of globalization including rubber, drugs, and the automobile; and moments of particular importance from the Atlantic Revolutions to 1989.

The World That Trade Created brings to life the history of trade and its actors. In a series of brief, highly readable vignettes, filled with insights and amazing facts about things we tend to take for granted, the authors uncover the deep historical roots of economic globalization. Covering over seven hundred years of history, this book, now in its fourth edition, takes the reader around the world from the history of the opium trade to pirates, to the building of corporations and migration to the New World. The chapters are grouped thematically, each featuring an introductory essay designed to synthesize and elaborate on key themes, both familiar and unfamiliar. It includes ten new essays, on topics ranging from the early modern ivory and slave trades across the Indian Ocean, to the ways in which the availability of new consumer goods helped change work habits in both Europe and East Asia, and from the history of chewing gum to that of rare earth metals. The introductory essays for each chapter, the overall introduction and epilogue, and several of the essays have also been revised and updated.The World That Trade Created continues to be a key resource for anyone teaching world history, world civilization, and the history of international trade.

Läs direkt efter köp
Un clásico en estado puro, la obra de referencia sobre los orígenes de la Revolución Industrial en Occidente, traducido a dieciséis idiomas e inédito en español.La gran divergencia arroja luz sobre uno de los grandes interrogantes de la historia: ¿por qué empezó el crecimiento industrial sostenido en el noroeste de Europa? El historiador Kenneth Pomeranz demuestra que ya en 1750 la esperanza de vida, el consumo y los mercados de productos y otros factores eran comparables en Europa y Asia Oriental. Además, ciertas regiones clave de China y Japón no estaban en peor situación ecológica que las de Europa Occidental, y cada región se enfrentaba a la correspondiente escasez de cultivos agrícolas.La rigurosa mirada comparativa de Pomeranz revela los dos factores críticos que provocaron la divergencia de Europa en el siglo xix: la afortunada localización del carbón y el acceso al comercio con el Nuevo Mundo. Mientras la economía de Asia Oriental se estancaba, Europa escapaba por poco del mismo destino debido, en gran parte, a las favorables reservas de recursos del subsuelo y de ultramar.La crítica ha dicho...«Una obra magistral que cambiará los términos del debate sobre los orígenes del capitalismo, el ascenso de Occidente y la caída de Oriente». Times Higher Education Supplement«Un libro excepcional, minucioso y devastador en su ataque a la sabiduría popular, apoyado en una gran cantidad de pruebas sólidas y argumentos precisos». Jack A. Goldstone, Universidad de California«Un libro extraordinariamente convincente y bien documentado». Anthony Vice, Nature
