This marvelous survey of world history, the last of his books to be translated into English, was originally intended for French "sixth-formers."After an introductory section examining the nature of cultures and civilizations, their continuities and transformations, Braudel surveys broad historical developments in almost every corner of the globe: the Muslim world,Black Africa, the Far East: China, India, the maritime states and Japan; Europe, Latin America and the United States; the English-speaking universe: Canada, Southern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand; and the other Europe: Russia, the USSR, and the CIS.
