Asia in the Making of Europe, Volume II: A Century of Wonder by: Donald F. Lach
Hardcover. Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 1st, 1970, Book: Good, Dust Jacket: Good, Hardcover in a lightly worn dust jacket, b&w illustrations, 257 pages. Praised for its scope and depth, Asia in the Making of Europe is the first comprehensive study of Asian influences on Western culture. This is the second volume in a series that traces, century by century, the role of Asia in the making of Europe. The rise to world dominance of the Western nations in modern times and the rapid industrial growth of the West, which outpaced the East in technical and military achievements, have led to a historical eclipse of the ancient and brilliant cultures of Asia. Light foxing to dust jacket, edge of text block. No markings.
