Jeremy Black, professor of history at the University of Exeter, editor and author, will present a lecture on “War, Technology and the Rise of the West 1450-2000” from 7:30-9 p.m., Tuesday, April 23, in the Trabant University Center Theatre.

Black is editor of the journal Archives and the author of ‘War and the World: Military Power and the Fate of Continents, 1450-2000” (Yale University Press) and many other distinguished books.

Black’s work, one scholar notes, “spans centuries (and) moves with ease from diplomatic history to social and cultural history; he is a biographer, he has written on cartography…and he is recognized as one of our leading military historians. He is not afraid to confront great issues and grand themes.”

The lecture is sponsored by the College of Arts and Science Outreach Program and the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Program and is free and open to the public.
