Michael Burger's goal in this inexpensive overview is to provide a
brief, historical narrative of Western civilization. Not only does
its length and price separate this text from the competition, but
its no-frills, uncluttered format and well-written, one-authored
approach make it a valuable asset for every history student.
The Shaping of Western Civilization: From Antiquity to the
Mid-Eighteenth Century begins with the ancient Near East and ends
with the mid-eighteenth century. Unlike other textbooks that pile
on dates and facts, Shaping is a more coherent and interpretive
presentation. Burger's skills as writer and synthesizer will enable
students to obtain the background required to ask meaningful
questions of primary sources. In addition to suggestions for
further reading, this overview includes over 40 images and 14
maps.
