A comprehensive yet concise introduction to Western Civilization,
designed to interest and engage contemporary students Western
Civilization: A Brief History is a concise one-volume survey that
covers the subject's ancient origins through to the early 21st
century. Stressing social and intellectual history, rather than
merely listing names and dates, this stimulating resource offers a
more consistent and reader-friendly narrative than traditional
textbooks. The author, with 40 years' experience teaching
college-level Western Civilization and World History courses,
emphasizes topics that stimulate student interest and encourage
classroom participation. A mixture of Judeo-Christian, Greco-Roman,
Germanic traditions, Western Civilization first appeared in Europe
following the fall of the Roman Empire in the West. The text
explores key events, figures, themes, and characteristics in the
history of Western Civilization. Grouped into six parts, chapters
include brief chronologies of events, maps, and illustrations.
Topics include Europe in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and
Reformation, the rise of medieval Christianity, Darwin and the
Theory of Evolution, the Industrial Revolution, imperialism, the
World Wars of the 20th century, the Cold War, and many others.
