Gale/Cengage has just expanded their file, The Making of the Modern World, with a second installment: Part II: 1851-1914, which follows up on the release of Part I: The Goldsmiths’-Kress Collection, 1450-1850.
That collection focused on the expansion of world trade, the Industrial Revolution, and the development of modern capitalism, while Part II brings the series into the early 20th century. It’s a collection of monographs, reports, correspondence, speeches, and surveys, including international coverage of social, economic, and business history, as well as political science, technology, industrialization and the birth of the modern corporation. Part II is cross-searchable with Part I of the series, so, combined, these collections provide access to 450 years of world history.
And the best part is that you can try The Making of the Modern World, Parts I and II here for free: just go to this link and enjoy the file until next Tuesday, when another Gale / Cengage file will be free-trialed here.

My thanks to Kristina Massari at Cengage Learning! she’s arranging these brief free trials for us. Enjoy, and more as it happens,
