'The Black Death and European Expansion', in James Belich, John Darwin, Margret Frenz, Chris Wickham, eds., The Prospect of Global History, (Oxford, Oxford University Press, 240 pp., 2016)
The Prospect of Global History takes a new approach to the study of global history, seeking to apply it, rather than advocate it. The volume seeks perspectives on history from East Asian and Islamic sources as well as European ones, and insists on depth in historical analysis. The Prospect of Global History will speak to those interested in medieval and ancient history as well as modern history. Chapters range from historical sociology to economic history, from medieval to modern times, from European expansion to constitutional history.
Replenishing the Earth. The Settler Revolution and the Rise of the Anglo-World, 1783-1939, (Oxford and New York, Oxford University Press, 2009).
Why are we speaking English? Replenishing the Earth gives a new answer to that question, uncovering a 'settler revolution' that took place from the early nineteenth century that led to the explosive settlement of the American West and its forgotten twin, the British West, comprising the settler dominions of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
