The result is a masterful, if still preliminary, synthesis of how oasis Central Asia from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century fits within world history. Levi of Ohio State University situates Central Asia within this emerging new discipline of world history. Another way is through finding new modes of what climatologists call “teleconnections”-connections that link variability over continental or even global scales. One way this search takes place is through deploying new periodizations, such as the fourteenth- or seventeenth-century crises or the idea of the early modern. Freed from the need to follow the path of “Western Civ” as the central protagonist, nourished by the growing number of historians who use non-Western languages in their research, and challenged by increasingly precise scientific documentation of previously imponderable variables, such as climate, bullion movements, and disease, world history is now looking for a new narrative. World history today is enjoying a renaissance. Davis (Eastern Connecticut State University) Reviewed by Christopher Atwood (University of Pennsylvania)Ĭommissioned by Bradley C.
