Western Civilization: The Continuing Experiment

By Thomas F.X. Noble, Duane J. Osheim, Barry S. Strauss, et al.

Book Overview

Western Civilization leads the market as the first western civilization text to include a separate chapter on Late Antiquity and the first to use the new political history, the effect of power and politics on all members of society, at the center of its narrative. Recognizing that European history was affected by factors outside the continent, this text looks at Europe by examining its place in the world. With an emphasis on the experimental nature of political and social history, the text challenges students to explore why and how history unfolded as it did.

Customer Reviews

Western Civilization

I received my order in a couple of days after I placed the order. The book was used. It had some writing in it. But I was able to use it. I was pleased with my order.

Standard textbook stuff

FIne and worth the money. A text book is a text book. If in doubt read two or three different ones so that you will be sure to cover everything. Otherwise, read the treatises of the time periods that interest you most. These large textbooks are meant for general introductions to history. Take it as such and not to be read as the bible/koran/torah/etcetera.

very fast
