Western Heritage

Synopsis

This brief survey of Western civilization (based on the best-selling The Western Heritage, Seventh Edition), provides an exceptionally balanced survey of the political, social, and cultural development of Western civilization-its strengths and weaknesses, and the controversies surrounding it. This brief edition condenses the central narrative-without compromising on vocabulary or conceptual level-to make it more fully accessible to today's students, and to allow instructors greater opportunity to supplement the course with extensive outside readings, if desired. The document CD-ROM is bound into the text.
