    Abstract: Historische Entwicklung des Weltbildes (von der Erde) anhand von Kartenbeispielen auch außereuropäischer Völker. (Otto-Rudolf Rothbart)
    Abstract: Der britische Autor ist Professor für Geschichte; entsprechend interessierte ihn am Thema weniger die historische Entwicklung der Karthografie an sich (dazu besser U. Schneider: BA 12/04) als vielmehr das Bild von der Welt, die Vorstellung von Länder- und Meeresgrenzen, die sich die Völker (Kundschafter, Eroberer, Militärs) in ihrer jeweiligen Epoche zu machen in der Lage waren. Diesen Aspekt der historischen Entwicklung schildert Blacke ansprechend, detailliert, wissenschaftlich grundiert und umfassender als es der deutsche Titel vermuten lässt: Er bezog nicht nur die europäische Antike mit ein, sondern auch Zeugnisse außereuropäischer Kartenbildner (selbst von Ureinwohnern Australiens). Doch ist die spürbar für englische Leser geschriebene Darstellung, sind vor allem die exemplarisch abgebildeten, je einzeln gehaltvoll kommentierten, farbig-großformatigen Kartenbeispiele stark angloamerikanisch orientiert; neuere deutsche Titel gibt es aber kaum (hier zuletzt J. Goss: ID 6/95). (2)

    Abstract: "Information is power. For more than five hundred years the success or failure of nations has been determined by a country's ability to acquire knowledge and technical skill and transform them into strength and prosperity. Leading historian Jeremy Black approaches global history from a distinctive perspective, focusing on the relationship between information and society and demonstrating how the understanding and use of information have been the primary factors in the development and character of the modern age. Black suggests that the West's ascension was a direct result of its institutions and social practices for acquiring, employing, and retaining information and the technology that was ultimately produced. His cogent and well-reasoned analysis looks at cartography and the hardware of communication, armaments and sea power, mercantilism and imperialism, science and astronomy, as well as bureaucracy and the management of information, linking the history of technology with the history of global power while providing important indicators for the future of our world"--

    Abstract: Throughout history, warfare has transformed social, political, cultural, and religious aspects of our lives. We tell tales of wars-past, present, and future-to create and reinforce a common purpose. In this engaging overview, Jeremy Black examines war as a global phenomenon, looking at the First and Second World Wars as well as those ranging from Han China and Assyria, Imperial Rome, and Napoleonic France to Vietnam and Afghanistan. Black explores too the significance of warfare more broadly and the ways in which cultural understandings of conflict have lasting consequences in societies across the world. Weaponry, Black argues, has had a fundamental impact on modes of war: it created war in the air and transformed it at sea. Today, as twentieth-century weapons are challenged by drones and robotics, Black examines what the future of warfare looks like
