Geoffrey (Formerly Harrow School, London, UK) Treasure 
The Making of Modern Europe, 1648-1780 [EPUB ebook] 

This reissue of a classic textbook has been revised and updated with a new introduction by the author. Geoffrey Treasure provides a thoroughly comprehensive account of the European experience at a time when so much of what is today identified as ”modern” began to take shape.
Discussing key issues of the period, The Making of Modern Europe, 1647–1980 examines:

• the evolution of the developing society


• detailed studies of the people, their environment, attitudes and beliefs


• economic aspects


• the growth of the states


• politics, war and diplomacy


• religion, intellectualism and science.

This work provides an excellent grounding for the study of seventeenth and eighteenth-century European history.
