Description

For introductory courses in Western Civilization. This text explains why Western civilization is worth knowing about. It takes a consistently topical approach, stressing social and cultural themes in conjunction with the political narrative, and incorporates significant discussion of peoples and civilizations outside the boundaries of the West. Written by a single author, it is accompanied by rich visual images, textual excerpts, "boxes", timelines, charts and maps, all closely related to the narrative. - from Amzon
