Western Civilization

by Professor Thomas F. X. Noble, Barry S. Strauss, Duane J. Osheim, Kristen Neuschel, and William B. Cohen

Published 31 March 1994

The Brief Edition of Western Civilization presents a strong chronological and political framework and seamlessly integrates the social and cultural forces that have shaped the western past. Two related themes are pursued throughout: 1) Europe in relation to the rest of the world and non-Western influences, and 2) power in all its senses, public and private; economic, social, cultural, and political; symbolic and real.
