Description

Civilization in the West blends social and political history into a fascinating narrative that brings 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. The dramatic, changing contours of the West are explored through standard maps, Map Discovery features, and Geographical Tours of Europe.  


Features

  • “Geographical Tours of Europe.” This feature complements the map program and discusses the fascinating aspects of European geography at critical points in history.  
  • Compelling pictorial chapter openers. The full-color images of “The Visual Record” chapter opener 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.
  • Two-page special feature essays. Twenty-four “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 one on Gothic cathedrals (Ch.9), the Dutch Tulip Mania of the 17th-Century (Ch.17), 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.
  • “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.


New To This Edition

  • New “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.  
  • In addition to the new “Map Discovery” feature, the map program has been strengthened further by a more attractive and accessible design. All standard maps in this edition have been thoroughly revised and several maps have been enlarged.
  • Six “The West and the Wider World” essays focus on dynamic cultural encounters and exchange 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. Feature topics include industrial espionage and the production of silk in the 6th Century (Ch. 7), the nutmeg wars of the 17th Century (Ch. 17), and rise of post-WWII Japanese manufacturing (Ch. 29).
  • 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.
  • Content updates appear throughout the text, including sections on terrorism in the 21st Century (Ch. 30).
  • Chapters 28-30 have been reorganized to better present the material to students.
  • MyHistoryLab provides students with an online package complete with the entire Kishlansky 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 twenty of the most commonly assigned books in history classes and a history toolkit with tutorials and helpful links.
