The West: Encounters & Transformations, Volume A (Chapters 1-11) | MyHistoryLab Series Textbook | Western Civilization History Book for College Students & Educators | Perfect for History Courses & Academic Studies

This new text takes a new approach to telling the story of Western civilization as simply the history of mainly Europe from ancient times to present. This book examines the changing nature of the West—how the definition of the West has evolved and changed throughout history. It examines how the definition of western civilization has changed through a series of cultural encounters with different cultures, beliefs, ideas, technologies, and peoples both outside of the West and within it.
