520    This masterful history of the world in our time captures 
       the ground-level drama of events & the larger contours of 
       change in a period of global transformation. Global change
       has accelerated at an unprecedented pace in the last half-
       century, affecting every aspect of daily life, public & 
       private, throughout the world. The trajectory of change 
       points in different directions, with the world growing at 
       once more connected & more fragmented. Commerce & 
       migrations, television & the World Wide Web, suggest a 
       story of growing interconnection. The proliferation of 
       nation-states; the divisions rooted in religion, race, & 
       material inequality; tell one of separation & conflict. At
       the heart of Reynolds' (international relations, Cambridge
       U.) is the political story of world upheavals, including 
       the Cold War, the Chinese revolution, independence 
       movements across the Third World, crises in Cuba and 
       Vietnam, and the fall of the Soviet Union. But he 
       considers these just the visible peaks of a continuing 
       subterranean political change, which he charts as well.
