R. I. Moore
Robert Ian Moore FRHistS (8 May 1941 – 5 February 2025) was a British historian and Professor Emeritus of History at Newcastle University. He specialised in medieval history and authored several influential works on heresy. Moore was a pioneer in the UK in teaching world history to undergraduates, published numerous papers on comparative world history, and served as series editor of the Blackwell History of the World. In 2007, his book The Formation of a Persecuting Society was described by the Guardian as "one of the most influential and controversial books of medieval history of the last 20 years".

World history (field)
World history or global history as a field of historical study examines history from a global perspective. It emerged centuries ago; some leading practitioners have included Voltaire (1694–1778), Hegel (1770–1831), Karl Marx (1818–1883), Oswald Spengler (1880–1936), and Arnold J. Toynbee (1889–1975). The field became much more active (in terms of university teaching, textbooks, scholarly journals, and academic associations) in the late 20th century.

It is not to be confused with comparative history, which, like world history, deals with the history of multiple cultures and nations, but does not do so on a global scale. World historians use a thematic approach, with two major focal points: integration (how processes of world history have drawn people of the world together) and difference (how patterns of world history reveal the diversity of the human experience).
