文档介绍：The Ottoman Empire, 1700–1922
The Ottoman Empire was one of the most important non-Western
states to survive from medieval to modern times, and played a vital
role in European and global history. It continues to affect the peoples of
the Middle East, the Balkans, and Central and Western Europe to the
present day. This new survey examines the major trends during the latter
years of the empire; it pays attention to gender issues and to hotly de-
bated topics such as the treatment of minorities. In this second edition,
Donald Quataert has updated his lively and authoritative text, revised
the bibliographies, and included brief bibliographies of major works on
the Byzantine Empire and the post–Ottoman Middle East. This ac-
cessible narrative is supported by maps, illustrations, and genealogical
and chronological tables, which will be of help to students and non-
specialists alike. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the
Middle East.
DONALD QUATAERT is Professor of History at Binghamton University,
State University of New York. He has published many books on Middle
East and Ottoman history, including An Economic and Social History of
the Ottoman Empire, 1300–1914 (1994).

ropean history encounter daily: the series will embrace both some of
the more “traditional” subjects of study, and those cultural and social
issues to which increasing numbers of school and college courses are
devoted. A particular effort is made to consider the wider international
