Description

Civilization in the West blends social and political history with an exceptional map and image program to engage students and bring history to life.

The authors tell a compelling story of Western Civilization that is enhanced by an image-based approach. “The Visual Record” chapter openers draw students in by using illustrations that underscore a dominant theme of the chapter. New “Image Discovery” features guide students to interrogate images, understand their contexts, and unpack their multiple meanings. The dramatic, changing contours of the West are explored through an exceptional map program, through Map Discovery features, and through Geographical Tours of Europe.

Features

“The Visual Record” chapter openers provoke students to think critically about history and lend visual acuity to chapter themes. This marriage of vignettes with illustrations encourages students to see–in an artifact or a piece of art or architecture–details that are not immediately apparent. A “Looking Ahead” section connects the subject of the opener to the major topics and themes of the chapter.
West in the Wider World essays explore instances of dynamic cultural encounters and exchanges between the West and the non-West at different points in history. Questions are included to spark class discussion and to reinforce connections to chapter themes.
“Map Discovery” features appear two to three times per chapter, offering specially designed maps with supporting caption information and questions designed to engage students in analyzing map data and making larger connections to chapter discussions.
At two points in the book, the narrative pauses to take students on tours through Europe (These are called “Geographical Tours of Europe”). An example is the tour that follows a young 18^th century nobleman on his Grand Tour of Europe.
“A Closer Look” essays add dramatic detail to individuals, ideas, and events in each chapter, providing students with an opportunity to delve more deeply into new topics, such as the female rulers of the 16th-Century (Ch. 14), and the guillotine in Revolutionary France (Ch. 20).
Coverage of women and minorities is integrated directly into the text, not isolated to sections at the ends of chapters, offering an integrated presentation of social history within a balanced framework.
Primary source document excerpts are included throughout and contain “Focus Questions” that help students think critically about the source document.
In every chapter, several key terms are highlighted. These terms are also included in a list at the end of the chapter to help students review the chapter material. The terms are defined in a Glossary at back of the text.
“Discovering Western Civilization Online” (end-of-chapter Web site URLs) provides students with online resources to allow them to explore a particular topic or period. Website URLs direct students to specific maps, sources, and cultural sites not included in the text.
MyHistoryLab provides students with an online package complete with the entire textbook, course management, numerous study aids, primary sources, and a chapter exam. With several hundred primary sources and images, as well as map activities with gradable quizzes and map workbook activities, the site offers students a unique, interactive experience that brings history to life. The comprehensive site also includes a history bookshelf with fifty of the most commonly assigned books in history classes and a history toolkit with tutorials and helpful links.

New To This Edition

Appearing in every chapter, new “Image Discovery” features help students approach images as important historical texts. Through suggestive questions, Image Discovery features guide students to analyze the image, understand its context, and interpret its multiple meanings. An example is the painting “The Milch Cow” in Chapter 14, which allows for an examination of the politics surrounding the Netherlands in the late 16^th century.
Understanding the importance of viewing the West within a larger context, this edition contains two new “West in the Wider World” essays: Chapter 12, “The Columbian Exchange;” and Chapter 18, “The Siege of Vienna.”
Two new documents have been added in this edition. Chapter 14 now includes “The Heart and Stomach of a King,” Queen Elizabeth rallies her subjects to oppose the invasion of English by the Spanish Armada; and Chapter 19 contains excerpts from Voltaire’s great comic novel, Candide.
Over 60 new key terms have been called out in the text and added to the Glossary.
Content updates throughout the text reflect new historical discoveries and account for reinterpretations of familiar events.

Civilization in the West, Seventh Edition, Volume B Mark Kishlansky, et al.

“This text is clear, well-organized, and easy for my students to follow. I have never had more satisfied students over a thirty-five year career.”

–Don Mohr, University of Alaska — Anchorage

“Students typically associate a history classes with being dull and dreary with an accompanying dry text. This book entices students to read the chapters not only because they are assigned but because the students are eager to read them.”

–Janilyn M. Kocher, Richland Community College

“I have seen texts that are dry, monotonous, and chocked with detail. I have seen others that present the material so lightly that it may blow away. This text is a combination of detailed information in an engaging and interesting presentation.”

–John S. Kemp, Truckee Meadows Community College

In Civilization in the West, the dramatic, changing contours of Western Civilization are explored through a compelling narrative and a rich image-based approach. In the new Seventh Edition, updated throughout, the authors blend social and political history with an exceptional map and image program to engage students and make the material more accessible.

New to this edition

“Image Discovery” features appear in every chapter and help students approach images as important historical texts.
New “West in the Wider World” essays: Chapter 18, “The Siege of Vienna;” Chapter 25, “Babylon Discovered;” and Chapter 29, “Mahatma Gandhi’s Legacy.”
New primary source documents: Chapter 14 now includes “The Heart and Stomach of a King,” in which Queen Elizabeth rallies her subjects to oppose the invasion of English by the Spanish Armada; Chapter 19 now contains excerpts from Voltaire’s great comic novel, Candide; the Treaty of Versailles is excerpted in Chapter 26; and Chapter 30 now includes both Vaclav Havel’s address to Czechoslovakia from January 1, 1990 and a press release from London Mayor Ken Livingstone regarding his commitment, and that of 21 other mayors from major cities around the world, to reducing greenhouse gases.
An expanded Glossary contains over 60 new key terms.
