FOR STUDENTS

The Global West: Connections & Identities

ISBN: 9781337401371
THE GLOBAL WEST: CONNECTIONS AND IDENTITIES (formerly MAKING EUROPE) isn't a traditional Western civ textbook--instead, it paints a globally connected portrait of the West through the lenses of politics, religion, social history, biography and cultural identity. Developed by authors who've spent years making history accessible to a diverse range of students, the book excels at teaching students the who, what and how of the subject: how to read primary documents, compare and contrast Western and non-Western sources and draw connections across time and geographic regions. Western civilization is the most difficult history course for many students. With a clear message that helps them grasp the origins of today's interconnected world, THE GLOBAL WEST aims to change that. Available in split options: THE GLOBAL WEST, 3rd Edition Complete; Since 1300; Volume 1: To 1790; Volume 2: Since 1550.
