About this book

The Western Experience offers a thorough analytical overview of Western civilization giving students an introduction to the major achievements in Western thought art and science as well as the social political and economic context for understanding those developments. To demonstrate the connected nature of all histories these various aspects of history are examined in an integrated way. To help readers develop their reasoning and writing skills each chapter is constructed to serve as an example of a historical essay: A historical problem is presented and arguments are developed using historical evidence. The ninth edition features many improvements including the work of Lisa Tiersten in her new chapter on Nineteenth Century Empires.
