Developed to meet the demand for a low-cost; high-quality history book; this text is an economically priced version of WESTERN CIVILIZATION: BEYOND BOUNDARIES; 6e. The Advantage 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 Advantage Edition of WESTERN CIVILIZATION encompasses the full social and political story of Western Civilization within a wider definition of Europe that includes Eastern Europe; Scandinavia; and European frontiers. The text emphasizes Europe's interaction with the world and encourages students to question why and how history unfolded as it did.

Humbling and inspirationalBy Ali JuliaI am planning a visit to Plymouth plantation for an out of time visitors and wanted to learn more about it to be a better guide. This book is based on a diary written by Governor Bradford; who was guiding the settlement for over 30 years. His writing feels a little heavy for a modern reader but this is how people spoke at that time and I felt immersed in the times of the story. I was really amazed at how people persevered in the wilderness and built a settlement. I don't think I would be able to do it It is both humbling and inspirational.This is a fairly long book that starts with 1630 and end in 1659 when William Bradford dies. The book ends with the list of all people who came on the Mayflower.Ali Julia review4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. How neat to read a first hand account about the Pilgrims their journey!By Claire KnightPurchased this book because I recently found strong proof I had ancestors on the Mayflower! That gave me the interest to research further into this time period. This book "Of Plymouth Plantation" was very interesting reading for several reasons. Because it was written by William Bradford who; of course; had first hand knowledge of the trials tribulations of the Pilgrims. I am so thankful this book was reissued. How wonderful to have this first hand account. I would have given this 5 stars but because it was so subject specific I was hesitant to give 5 stars!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. History written by a man that lived itBy Country GirlFascinating book in many ways. A little hard to read; despite the editor "adjusting" some of the wording. The book begins long before the ship sails. Learn the background as to why these people were willing to rise everything for freedom to worship.There are two books on titled the same and are the same book. One has a list of the passengers and what happened to them later.This book does not have that list. Thus the four stars.
