Cover of Peter N. (George Mason University) Stearns: Western Civilization in World History (ePUB)

Western civilization and world history are often seen as different, or even mutually exclusive, routes into historical studies. This volume shows that they can be successfully linked, providing a tool to see each subject in the context of the other, identifying influences and connections.

Western Civilization in World History takes up the recent debates about the merits of the well-established ”Western civ” approach versus the newer field of world history. Peter N. Stearns outlines key aspects of Western civilization – often assumed rather than analyzed – and reviews them in a global context.
