History of World Societies 9e V1 & Worlds of History 4e V1

by John P. McKay, Bennett D. Hill, John Buckler

Long a best-seller in the field, A History of Western Society examines the lives of historic figures and ordinary people from an extraordinary perspective--and sustains that vision with an engaging, lively writing style. While social and economic history are areas of special emphasis, the authors pay careful attention to traditional political and cultural developments, providing a balanced, well-rounded view of Western history as a whole. The Sixth Edition offers a wider geographic/ethnic scope, with added coverage of Eastern Europe, the Celtic region, and Islam and Muslims.

This was my textbook for World Civilization at BYU, and I absolutely loved it - I wished my professor for the first half of the course had followed it more! I still have it and occasionally use it for reference.
