Traditions & Encounters A Global Perspective on the Past Vol C 1750 to Present
Third Edition 2006 Soft Cover By Jerry Bentley and Herb Ziegler NO CD
Pages 780-1167
This book qualifies dates as B.C.E. ("Before the Common Era") or C.E. ("Common Era"). In practice, B.C.E. refers to the same epoch as B.C. ("Before Christ"), and C.E. refers to the same epoch as A.D. (Anno Domini, a Latin term meaning "in the year of the Lord"). As historical study becomes a global, multicultural enterprise, however, scholars increasingly prefer terminology that does not apply the standards of one society to all the others. Thus reference in this book to B.C.E. and C.E. reflects emerging scholarly convention concerning the qualification of historical dates.
Measurements of length and distance appear here according to the metric system, followed by their English-system equivalents in parentheses.
The book transliterates Chinese names and terms into English according to the pinyin system, which has largely displaced the more cumbersome Wade-Giles system. Transliteration of names and terms from other languages follows contemporary scholarly conventions.
