Welcome to the History books catalogue 2015. Here you will find new and forthcoming titles, representing the highest level of academic research from renowned authors. Our highlights this year include some major additions to our publishing programme in Global History including The Cambridge World History, Merry Wiesner-Hanks’s A Concise History of the World and the Global Connections textbooks. Other highlights include the three-volume Cambridge History of the Second World War, a new edition of Ira Lapidus’s best-selling A History of Islamic Societies, Prasenjit Duara’s The Crisis of Global Modernity and Ada Ferrer’s Freedom’s Mirror. We are also very excited to have published Jo Guldi and David Armitage’s provocative The History Manifesto which is the first History title to be published simultaneously in print and as Open Access. Our publications are available in a variety of formats, including ebooks and print, as well as online collections for institutional purchase via our publishing service University Publishing Online, which incorporates the Cambridge Books Online platform. We also publish a range of leading History journals, including The Historical Journal and The Journal of Global History (see back inside page for more information).
