Professor Olstein developed his interpretation not only out his particular strengths of mind but because of his experience around the world... His skill in proposing clear historical generalizations makes it possible for readers to join him in seeing the order that lies within all the complexity of the world's detail. - Patrick Manning, University of Pittsburgh '... How do you adopt a 'global' approach to the past? Over the last few decades, scholars have answered this question in a bewildering number of ways... Thinking History Globally brings order to this chaos... [It] examines the deep logic of historical thinking, and highlights what must be changed if we are to adopt a truly global outlook. Since nowadays it makes little sense to think about history except in global terms, what Thinking History Globally really seeks to do, is to redefine the historical discipline. - Yuval Noah Harari, Hebrew University of Jerusalem
