History

The West: Encounters & Transformations takes a new approach to telling the story of Western Civilization.

Rather than looking at Western Civilization only as the history of Europe from ancient times to the present, this groundbreaking book examines the changing nature of the West–how the definition of the West has evolved and transformed throughout history. It explores the ways Western civilization has changed as a result of cultural encounters with different beliefs, ideas, technologies, and peoples, both outside the West and within it. Presenting a balanced treatment of political, social, religious, and cultural history, this text emphasizes the ever-shifting boundaries of the geographic and cultural realm of the West.

• Three themes inform the narrative–
• The West as a Geographic and Cultural Realm: Treats the West as a cultural realm extending beyond the geographical and political boundaries of Western Europe to include Eastern Europe, Australia, the U.S., and parts of the Muslim world.
• Cultural Encounters: Explores the changing identity of the West as a product of a series of cultural encounters among peoples, ideas, and beliefs outside the West and within it.
• The West and the World: Addresses the sometimes violent, sometimes peaceful, but most often reciprocal exchanges between Western and non-Western cultures.

• “Justice in History”–Appearing in each chapter, these feature essays present historically significant trials or episodes in which different notions of justice were debated and resolved. These essays illustrate the way basic religious, philosophical, or political values of the West have evolved through attempts to solve disputes, contention, and conflict. Each essay ends with “Questions of Justice” that stimulate class discussion or student essay topics and a list of further readings. Example: “Justice in History: The Trial of Joan of Arc” (Ch. 10). See Table of Contents for a list of “Justice in History” features.

• “The Human Body in History”– These feature essays help students understand the cultural, religious, and political history of the body. Each reveals the ways in which the body has been represented in art and literature, responded to disease and trauma, and been clothed. Each essay ends with “For Discussion” questions that direct the student back to the broader chapter issues. Example: “The Human Body in History: Shellshock–From Woman's Malady to Soldier's Affliction” (Ch. 24). See Table of Contents for a list of “The Human Body in History” features.

• Primary Source Documents– Primary Sources included in each chapter reinforce or expand upon broader points made in the text narrative and introduce students to the basic materials of historical research. See Table of Contents for a list of Primary Source Documents.

• A flexible organization– Adhering to a manageable 28-chapter organization, the limited number of chapters makes the book more compatible with the traditional semester length course.

• Unique Content–
• What Is the West? essay appears before the first chapter and guides students through the text by providing a one-of-a-kind framework that looks at the changing definition of the West. Structured around the six questions of What, When, Where, Who, How, and Why, this framework gets students to think about their understanding of Western civilization.
• Chapter 2, which covers the period from ca. 1600 to 550 B.C.E., is the first in a Western civilization textbook to address the International Bronze Age, a period important in its own right because it saw the creation of expansionist, multi-ethnic empires linked by trade and diplomacy.
• Chapter 17, “The West and the World: Empire, Trade, and War, 1650-1815,” is a unique chapter covering the second period of European expansion, from 1650 to 1815. This thematic chapter examines the growth of European empires, the beginning of global warfare, and the encounters between Europeans and the peoples of Asia and Africa, and the Atlantic Revolutions of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
• Chapter 26, “World War II,”  offers not only a comprehensive examination of World War II, but also explores the moral fissure in the history of the West created, in very different ways, by the Holocaust and the use of the atomic bomb in 1945.

• The number of chapters has been reduced from 29 to 28, in order to make the book even more compatible with the typical fifteen-week semester.

• The new Encounters and Transformations features identify specific encounters and show how they led to significant transformations in the culture of the West, such as how encounters with nomadic tribes of Arabia and camels led to the rapid spread of Islam; how the Mayas’ interpretation of Christian symbols transformed European Christianity into a hybrid religion; and how the importation of chocolate from the New World to Europe changed Western consumption patterns and the rhythms of the Atlantic economy.

• Each chapter now includes a series of Focus questions.  The introduction to each chapter includes a statement of the main question that the entire chapter addresses, as well as a set of questions that the individual sections of the chapter seek to answer.  Each of these questions is repeated at the beginning of the relevant section of the chapter.

• In Chapter 3, the Persian Empire is now discussed before beginning the study of Hebrew and Greek civilizations to emphasize the argument that the latter two civilizations emerged in a political world dominated by Persia.

• Chapters 6 through 9, which deal with the period from about 300 to 1300 C.E., have been rearranged along more thematic, less chronological lines.  This strategy emphasizes the importance of the interactions among different religious communities during a period that was crucial to the development of Christianity and Islam.

• In Chapter 22, “The Coming of Mass Politics: Industrialization, Emancipation and Instability,” the “nation-by-nation” narrative has been replaced with a thematic approach that more effectively conveys the processes by which European elites sought both to capitalize on and control the new forces of popular nationalism.

• Increased coverage of Islam is provided in new sections on “Postwar Nationalism, Westernization and the Islamic Challenge” in Chapter 25 and “Islam, Terrorism and European Identity” in Chapter 28.

• “Web Assets,” signaled by icons on the text pages, identify assets on Longman’s premium Web sites—MyHistoryLab —that relate to the chapter discussion. The icons indicate the type of asset—document, image, video, audio clip, or interactive map—and its specific content, enriching the text’s narrative of Western Civilization with multimedia material.

Volume I includes Chapters 1-16, Volume II includes Chapters 14-28, Volume A includes Chapters 1-11, Volume B includes Chapters 10-19, and Volume C includes Chapters 19-28.

  Brief Description

  

  The West: Encounters & Transformations takes a new approach to telling the story of Western Civilization. Rather than looking at Western Civilization only as the history of Europe from ancient times to the present, this groundbreaking book examines the changing nature of the West–how the definition of the West has evolved and transformed throughout history. It explores the ways Western civilization has changed as a result of cultural encounters with different beliefs, ideas, technologies, and peoples, both outside the West and within it. Presenting a balanced treatment of political, social, religious, and cultural history, this text emphasizes the ever-shifting boundaries of the geographic and cultural realm of the West.
  
  

  With 56 additional maps, The West: Encounters and Transformations, Second Edition, Atlas Edition, helps students with geography, one of the most difficult aspects of Western Civilization courses for many. Four-color and outline maps accompanied by review questions call on students to identify important geographical areas and think critically about the connection between geography and historical events. The maps are on perforated pages and are organized by chapter so that they can be easily assigned and collected. Other than the additional perforated maps, the Atlas Edition of The West, 2/e, is identical to The West, 2/e.

  African-American Odyssey, The: Combined Volume, 4/E

  ISBN-10: 0136150128 | ISBN-13: 9780136150121
  Brief Description

  

  More than any other text, The African-American Odyssey illuminates the central place of African Americans in U.S. history — not only telling the story of what it has meant to be black in America, but also how African-American history is inseparably weaved into the greater context of American history and vice versa.

   

  Told through a clear, direct, and flowing narrative by leading scholars in the field, The African-American Odyssey draws on recent research to present black history within broad social, cultural, and political frameworks.  From Africa to the Twenty-First Century, this book follows their long, turbulent journey, including the rich culture that African Americans have nurtured throughout their history and the many-faceted quest for freedom in which African Americans have sought to counter oppression and racism.  This text also recognizes the diversity within the African-American sphere — providing coverage of all class and of women and balancing the lives of ordinary men and women with the accounts and actions of black leaders and individuals.

  For introductory-level survey courses in American History.

   

  This highly visual survey of American history introduces students to the key features of American political, social, and economic history in an exciting format designed to ignite students passion to know history.  

   

  The Teaching & Learning Classroom Edition provides students with the most help available in reading, thinking, and applying the material they are learning in the text and in lecture. A series of pedagogical aids, in text and out of class study companions, as well as complete instructor presentational and assessment support make this text the perfect choice for those looking to make history come alive for their students.

   

  The path that led the authors to The American Journey began in the classroom with their students.  The goal of this text is to make American history accessible to students.  The key to that goal--the core of the book--is a strong, clear narrative and a positive theme of The American "Journey."  American history is a compelling story that the authors tell in an engaging, forthright way, while providing students with an abundance of tools to help them absorb that story and put it into context.  This text combines political and social history, to fit the experience of particular groups into the broader perspective of the American past, to give voice to minor and major players alike, because the history of America is in the stories of its people.

  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.

  Connections: A World History focuses on the connections within and between societies, combining a uniquely comprehensive and consistent map program with a strong pedagogical support and a narrative that students will actually read.

   

  Written by historians with years of experience teaching world history, Connections presents both a global and regional perspective, so students can appreciate both the diversity and connectedness of human societies.  Concise chapters and a clear engaging narrative make the text accessible to a wide range of students.  In addition, because students struggle with geography, the book includes significantly more maps than other texts–in most cases twice as many–and great care was taken to make them consistent and exceptionally clear.  In each caption, the authors have provided guidance for reading the map and for connecting it to the surrounding text.  To further help students succeed, marginal notes highlight major connections for easy review, and pronunciation guides appear after difficult names.  Lastly, compelling vignettes introduce the themes of each chapter, concise excerpts from relevant primary sources allow students to hear the voices of the past, and an extensive chapter review section is designed to help students test themselves and succeed in this difficult course.

Showing these interplays between the individuals and groups and the groups and the regions, each chapter of the text will help students understand the textured and varied history that has produced the increasing complexity of America.

  With its brief, global (rather than West-centered) approach, World History in Brief, Fifth Edition, seeks to show how different civilizations developed in a global context, and then encountered the various forces of contemporary life.
  
  

  Rather than overwhelm students, the chief goal of World History in Brief is to present the big picture, to facilitate comparison and assessment of change, and to highlight the major developments in the world's history. This text also presents the global interactions of major civilizations so that students can compare and assess changes. The compact size of this text gives instructors the opportunity to take advantage of additional supplementary readings.

  The World interweaves two stories–of our interactions with nature and with each other. The environment-centered story is about humans distancing themselves from the rest of nature and searching for a relationship that strikes a balance between constructive and destructive exploitation. The culture-centered story is of how human cultures have become mutually influential and yet mutually differentiating. Both stories have been going on for thousands of years. We do not know whether they will end in triumph or disaster.

   

  There is no prospect of covering all of world history in one book. Rather, the fabric of this book is woven from selected strands. Readers will see these at every turn, twisted together into yarn, stretched into stories. Human-focused historical ecology–the environmental theme–will drive readers back, again and again, to the same concepts: sustenance, shelter, disease, energy, technology, art. (The last is a vital category for historians, not only because it is part of our interface with the rest of the world, but also because it forms a record of how we see reality and of how the way we see it changes.) In the global story of human interactions–the cultural theme–we return constantly to the ways people make contact with each another: migration, trade, war, imperialism, pilgrimage, gift exchange, diplomacy, travel–and to their social frameworks: the economic and political arenas, the human groups and groupings, the states and civilizations, the sexes and generations, the classes and clusters of identity.

  Brief Description

  

  The World gives students the whole story. It is a new kind of history text — not just a collection of facts and figures.  World renowned historian, world respected scholar, successful author of more than 25 books translated into 22 languages, and exceptional writer, author Felipe Fernández-Armesto offers a truly holistic narrative of the world, from human beginnings to the present.  All aspects of the text — from the exceptionally clear narrative that always places the story in time, to the unparalleled map program, to the focused pedagogical features — support the story.  Because of the author’s breadth of vision, students will come away with a deep understanding of the fundamental interrelationships — among peoples and their environments — that make up the world’s story.

   

  Developing a project like The World required the input of and counsel of hundreds of individuals.  David Ringrose, respected World Historian from the University of California—San Diego, served as The World’s editorial consultant, and provided extensive teaching tips in the Instructor’s Guide to Teaching the World.  Nearly 100 reviewers critiqued the manuscript, from the first edition to the final draft.  Instructor focus groups were held throughout the country during the publication process.  And finally, we are proud that over 1,000 students from across the country class-tested The World, providing invaluable feedback and advice.
