The highly acknowledged Danish historian and author Mr. Søren Mørch proposes himself and the reader to reflect on the following question: Why and at which point did we move from the Old World of yesterday to the modern day society that we now live in?

In 16 delightfully insightful and entertaining essays, the book offers a number of answers to this question, ranging wide thematically as well as geographically.

Volume II in the world history series will be published in September 2009.
