About this title

Synopsis

This new text takes a new approach to telling the story of Western civilization as simply the history of mainly Europe from ancient times to present. This book examines the changing nature of the West—how the definition of the West has evolved and changed throughout history.

It examines how the definition of western civilization has changed through a series of cultural encounters with different cultures, beliefs, ideas, technologies, and peoples both outside of the West and within it.

From the Back Cover

NEW FEATURE! “Difference Voices”: This feature pairs two documents that present different and often opposing views on a topic discussed in the chapter. Each feature includes an introduction that provides the background for the documents and a set of questions for discussion.
Coverage of ancient Egypt is now consolidated in Chapter 1.
Coverage of the ancient Hebrews in Chapter 2 has been expanded.
The third edition features separate chapters on Hellenistic Civilization and the Roman Republic; the second edition combined coverage of these topics in a single chapter.
Improved Pedagogy: Each chapter concludes with two sets of review questions. The first set repeats the questions asked at the beginning of each section of the chapter, while the second, titled “Taking It Further,” pushes students to think more analytically and comparatively. The Chapter Review lists all of the key terms highlighted and discussed throughout the chapter and defined in the glossary.
Streamlined coverage throughout makes the third edition more manageable for students: The text has been streamlined through careful editing by the authors, leading to a 25 percent length reduction in the third edition without loss of coverage.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
