An Economist Best Book of the Year "Sweeping . . . an ambitious synthesis . . . Evans] writes with admirable narrative power and possesses a wonderful eye for local color . . . Fascinating."--Stephen Schuker, The Wall Street JournalFrom the bestselling author of The Third Reich at War, a masterly account of Europe in the age of its global hegemony; the latest volume in the Penguin History of Europe series
Richard J. Evans, bestselling historian of Nazi Germany, returns with a monumental new addition to the acclaimed Penguin History of Europe series, covering the period from the fall of Napoleon to the outbreak of World War I. Evans's gripping narrative ranges across a century of social and national conflicts, from the revolutions of 1830 and 1848 to the unification of both Germany and Italy, from the Russo-Turkish wars to the Balkan upheavals that brought this era of relative peace and growing prosperity to an end. Among the great themes it discusses are the decline of religious belief and the rise of secular science and medicine, the journey of art, music, and literature from Romanticism to Modernism, the replacement of old-regime punishments by the modern prison, the end of aristocratic domination and the emergence of industrial society, and the dramatic struggle of feminists for women's equality and emancipation. Uniting the era's broad-ranging transformations was the pursuit of power in all segments of life, from the banker striving for economic power to the serf seeking to escape the power of his landlord, from the engineer asserting society's power over the environment to the psychiatrist attempting to exert science's power over human nature itself.
The first single-volume history of the century, this comprehensive and sweeping account gives the reader a magnificently human picture of Europe in the age when it dominated the rest of the globe.

Highly recommend
Size: King/Cali King(102"x90"), Color: Gray
I love this comforter so, so much. More than I ever thought I would. Yes, it sometimes slips off but the comfortableness of it outweighs this hands down. It feels nice, not too hot and the weight is perfect. Quality and durability have been excellent. I need one in white! This was a sale that came with a different white comforter that I purchased from Bedsure that I still haven't taken out of the package because I ended up loving this one so much!

Comforter only fits king sized bed one way, look for the lengthwise seams on the sides.
Size: King/Cali King(102"x90"), Color: Gray
Most comfortable comforter I've ever owned. Can't explain it, it truly feels cool while keeping you warm. We tripled it with the cooling bamboo sheets and a cooling bamboo mattress protector and are sleeping way better. Don't waste hundreds on luxury brands that dont work half as good as these, believe me we tried them and these are way better.

~* obsessed *~
Size: King/Cali King(102"x90"), Color: Gray
i am obsessed with this comforter. super soft and silky, and actually keeps me cool at night! it is thinner than i had thought it was but it is not an issue at all. i did think it was a bit on the small size for king bed but my fiancee and i havent had an issue with that either. another plus is that it is not like all these bulky comforters you have to fight to get into the washer/dryer! VERY easy to wash! i will likely just continue buying these when i eventually need a new one!

Great blanket!!
Size: Full/Queen(88"x88"), Color: White
The weight is almost nothing. Soft and silky and warm when you need it. It is slippery, but if you put A duvet cover on it almost no slipage. It is a wonderful summer blanket. Thank you.
