New hardcover book in new dust jacket-- book and jacket are still sealed in publisher's original, unopened shrinkwrap; 320 pages including index and endnotes; well-illustrated with 285 illustrations of which 160 are in color. "The story of thirteen modern empires told with a rich profusion of illustrations drawn from a wide range of vivid, authentic sources.... In the modern period of Western history, from the Renaissance until the present, empires in one form or another have been a constant feature of the political landscape. For Germany and Italy, overseas dreams were short-lived; in the United States and the Soviet Union, imperialistic activity existed but was never accepted as an official state policy; and the disappearance of the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires has obscured some of the imperial dimensions of these states. But a generation or more after the final collapse of most of the European empires, the subject is still a major issue for historians. This intriguing account raises new subjects, from the roles of women in empire building to food and ecology. It shows how the maps of the explorations, the chronologies of the conquests, the balance sheets of commerce, the pantheons of explorers, settlers, and administrators, and all else that made up the Age of Empires play a key role in explaining the global civilization of today." (Quoted material from Publisher)
