Western Civilization: Volume I: To 1715

by Jackson J. Spielvogel

Best-selling text, WESTERN CIVILIZATION has helped over one million students learn about the present by exploring the past. Jack Spielvogel's engaging, chronological narrative weaves the political, economic, social, religious, intellectual, cultural, and military aspects of history into a gripping story that is as memorable as it is instructive. Each chapter offers a substantial introduction and conclusion, providing students a context for these disparate themes. The clear narrative of a single gifted author makes it easy for students to follow the story of Western civilization. Spielvogel gives the book depth by including over 150 maps and excerpts of over 200 primary sources--including official documents, poems, and songs--that enliven the past while introducing students to source material that forms the basis of historical scholarship.

ویرایش آخرش رو بخونید.
نویسنده هر چند سال یک بار کتاب رو ویرایش میکنه ولی تو ایران همون ویراست قدیمی هی تجدید چاپ شده.
فکر کنم آخریش مال پنج-شش سال پیشه.
با این حال، اگر به تاریخ اروپا علاقه دارید این کتاب هنوز هم بهترین وکامل ترین منبعیه که میشه در ایران پیدا کرد.

I thoroughly enjoyed studying this textbook. It seemed very fair and balanced in its presentation and is written in an easy to understand style. Covering this much information in a single semester made it difficult to spend much time in any single time or place. But that isn't the fault of the book, just the nature of a college class.

This is actually the textbook for EU2223 Ages of the Mediterranean. It gave a clear view on the history and ideas. A really good read with sufficient examples and messages. Part of the reason I fall in love with this side of history is because of this book.

Yay, done with the semester. Don't expect me to remember everything, though, because I struggled a bunch xD

Very informative and helped me to appreciate history in a new way. Would love to read this book again.

Okay book. It's difficult to pack thousands of years of history into a book a few hundred pages long.
