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 Journal

From 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.

Be careful of sharp edges
Color: Silver, Size: Medium, Color: Silver, Size: Medium
This is a decent organizer for the kitchen. Not too big and not too small for what I have. I like how it has two tiers so I can put soap bottles on top and sponges underneath. I also like that it just stands on the rounded edges instead of having legs. Those can start looking a little gross over time. I’m not sure if it’s just the one I bought, but you do want to be careful. Some of the welded parts had metal sticking up that I had to hammer down. The drain plate has some sharp edges. Not as sharp as a knife, but sharp enough you might cut yourself. I have another one from a different seller and just one tier, but it has a similar drain plate. That one has slightly rounded edges compared to this one. I would have like it more if the top basket was slightly taller. I get scared the glass soap dispensers I have might get knocked over easily. It would also be nice if the bottom could have a bit weight to it to avoid tipping. Overall, I would still recommend this over a single basket if you have more items you want to hold.

Great product
Color: Sand Nickel+Brush Holder
Very happy with this purchase. It is relatively compact so it doesn't take a lot of room in my sink, but big enough to hold sponges and wand. It also gives you the option to hang on wall or sink.
