This magisterial volume follows the death of ancient traditions, the triumph of new classes, and the emergence of new technologies, sciences, and ideologies, with vast intellectual daring and aphoristic elegance. Part of Eric Hobsbawm's epic four-volume history of the modern world, along with The Age of Capitalism, The Age of Empire, and The Age of Extremes.

I like to engage with the vast and profound knowledge of the author.
He is prolific, but never loquacious. You learn something new in every paragraph. I was particularly impressed by his discussion of the parallel political and economic revolutions that have shaped the western social condition for the past four centuries.
