Exceptional global narrative and accompanying multimedia support help students make firm connections between political, social and cultural history Renowned for its balanced presentation, clear prose, and exceptional treatment of the West in a global context, Western Civilizations makes the case that Western civilization cannot be viewed as a single, continuous culture. By expanding on geographic and cultural contexts and the many hybrid cultures that resulted from Western encounters in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, the text helps students make connections between political, social, and cultural history—in the process acquiring a better understanding of why Western civilizations developed as they did.
