Review
"The students enjoyed it very much. It was difficult enough to keep a history class challenged, but easy enough for them to enjoy it."--Stephen Miller, University of Connecticut

"Ideally suited for undergraduate courses in colonialism and world history."--S. David Knisley, Mars Hill College

"Excellent and moving text!"--Linda Waleda, Portland State University

"Excellent study. I have been asked to propose a course on Industrialization, Technology and International Relations... [and] Headrick's work will be included. Thanks for letting me read this fine study."--Thomas Schoonover, University of Southwestern Louisiana

"A fine, in-depth work for use with the more cursory textbook treatment of a central element of modern history."--T.R. Cox, San Diego State University

"A well-written text on the spread of western technology to the non-West."--Dennis Cordell, Southern Methodist University

"Excellent for global history courses because of its focus on Asia and Africa during the critical period of European imperialism."--Andrew F. Clark, University of North Carolina

"Well-written, useful."--Christopher Bassford, Ohio State University

"A useful and readable book on an issue too often ignored."--Edward L. Queen, II, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point
