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 the Reformation to the
Present begins with the Reformation and ends with globalization.
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 20 images and 11 maps.
