The Modernization of the Western World presents an overview of the
history of Western civilization and provides readers with the
intellectual tools they need to comprehend how societies function
and change. Covering Western history from ancient history to the
current era of globalization, it draws on the tradition of
historical sociology to describe the forces of social change and
what they have meant to the lives of the people caught in the midst
of them. This second edition is revised throughout to bring the
content up to date with recent developments and discusses key
themes such as terrorism, refugees, the European Union and
multinational corporations. It also includes a new chapter on the
Ancient World, covering this era from the advent of urbanization
and agriculture in the Middle East to the fall of Rome and
emergence of Christianity, providing valuable historical context.
Clear and concise, this book succinctly illustrates the essential
turning points in the history of Western society and identifies the
economic, social, political and cultural forces that are
transforming the wider world to this day. Illustrated with maps and
images and containing a glossary and new boxed features explaining
key concepts, this is the perfect introductory book for students of
the development of Western civilization.
