An Economist Best Book of the Year

"Sweeping . . . an ambitious synthesis . . . Evans] writes with admirable narrative power and possesses a wonderful eye for local color . . . Fascinating."--Stephen Schuker, The Wall Street Journal

From the bestselling author of The Third Reich at War, a masterly account of Europe in the age of its global hegemony; the latest volume in the Penguin History of Europe series

Richard J. Evans, bestselling historian of Nazi Germany, returns with a monumental new addition to the acclaimed Penguin History of Europe series, covering the period from the fall of Napoleon to the outbreak of World War I. Evans's gripping narrative ranges across a century of social and national conflicts, from the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 to the unification of both Germany and Italy, from the Russo-Turkish wars to the Balkan upheavals that brought this era of relative peace and growing prosperity to an end. Among the great themes it discusses are the decline of religious belief and the rise of secular science and medicine, the journey of art, music, and literature from Romanticism to Modernism, the replacement of old-regime punishments by the modern prison, the end of aristocratic domination and the emergence of industrial society, and the dramatic struggle of feminists for women's equality and emancipation. Uniting the era's broad-ranging transformations was the pursuit of power in all segments of life, from the banker striving for economic power to the serf seeking to escape the power of his landlord, from the engineer asserting society's power over the environment to the psychiatrist attempting to exert science's power over human nature itself.
The first single-volume history of the century, this comprehensive and sweeping account gives the reader a magnificently human picture of Europe in the age when it dominated the rest of the globe.

This book by Brother Rick helped me to understand.
Format: Paperback
Listen to GOD when He speaks, and always keep on praying... Don't be seeking GOD to give you visions / dreams/ revelations / spiritual manifestations, but do ask (trust) that He will give you what He has for you.

Extremely Disappointed
Format: Paperback
I own a fair amount of Rick Renner books. He’s an anointed, gifted and intelligent teacher of God’s Word. This book is not one of his best works. It’s informative, yes. However I found the redundancy extremely annoying. The book is 81 pages in length. It could have been written as a pamphlet. Rick repeated the same content so often I came away with feeling it was the only way to make it 81 pages long. Additionally, I’m bothered by the cost. It totaled out at $13.90. I would have preferred the pamphlet version and donated to Rick’s ministry. I would not recommend the book at $14.00
