In this entertaining book, Nayan Chanda follows the exploits of traders, preachers, adventurers, and warriors throughout history as they have shaped and reshaped the world. For Chanda, globalization is a process of ever-growing interconnectedness and interdependence that began thousands of years ago and continues to this day with increasing speed and ease.In the end, globalization—from the lone adventurer carving out a new trade route to the expanding ambitions of great empires—is the product of myriad aspirations and apprehensions that define just about every aspect of our lives: what we eat, wear, ride, or possess is the product of thousands of years of human endeavor and suffering across the globe. Chanda reviews and illustrates the economic and technological forces at play in globalization today and concludes with a thought-provoking discussion of how we can and should embrace an inevitably global world. 606 $aSocial evolution 606 $aCommerce$xHistory 606 $aIntercultural communication$xHistory 606 $aCulture diffusion$xHistory 606 $aGlobalization$xHistory 615 0$aSocial evolution. 615 0$aCommerce$xHistory. 615 0$aIntercultural communication$xHistory. 615 0$aCulture diffusion$xHistory. 615 0$aGlobalization$xHistory. 676 $a303.48/209 700 $aChanda$b Nayan$0313865 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777808803321 996 $aBound together$9720079 997 $aUNINA
