Overview

Andrew Reid Cowan’s A Guide to World-History seeks to use history as a science and answer such questions as why civilizations originated where they did; why progress occurred at different rates, at different times, and in different places; why some nations emerge as despotic and others as democratic; and what laws govern the rise and fall of empires. Cowan’s history attempts to work chronologically across the entire globe, analyzing all civilizations alongside each other a century at a time.
