Western Civilization: The Continuing Experiment, Dolphin Edition

by Thomas F.X. Noble, Barry S. Strauss

Developed to meet the demand for a low-cost, high-quality history book, this text is an economically priced version of Western Civilization: The Continuing Experiment, 4/e ((c) 2005). The Dolphin Edition offers the high level of scholarship and engaging narrative of the full text, while limiting the number of features, images, and maps. Each volume is packaged in a paperback, two-color format that appeals to those seeking a comprehensive, trade-sized history text.Like its full-length counterpart, the Dolphin Edition of Western Civilization stresses the unpredictable and indeterminate nature of history, encompassing the full social and political story of Western Civilization within a wider definition of Europe. The text engages students and encourages them to question why and how history unfolded as it did.

Reviews

[Greg Collver · Rating 3 out of 5]

Too much editorializing and too many conjectures rather than just plain factual information. I also found the apologetics for the Catholic church scattered throughout the text annoying.

Very long but good information.
