[Parker · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hall artfully paints a picture of modernity and the rise of the west, discussing at length the context in which it has occurred and the effects that it has had upon humanity. Sometimes wordy, although an interesting read with a great discussion on historiography (skippable by the more casual reader).

[Chris McDonald]

An excellent study.
