Renowned historian and archaeologist, Stanford University professor Ian Morris tells the story of 15,000 years of human history, during the last two of which the West has played a dominant role in the world. Morris explains why the East has declined and lost out in the historical competition with the West. But will the West rule forever? Ian Morris offers a fresh perspective on virtually every major historical event. He describes the patterns of human history, analyzes contemporary events, and makes predictions about the future.
