Explore the changing nature of the West Rather than looking at Western civilization only as the history of Europe from ancient times to the present; this groundbreaking book examines the changing nature of the West—how the definition of the West has evolved and has been transformed throughout history. It explores the ways Western civilization has changed as a result of cultural encounters with different beliefs; ideas; technologies; and peoples; both outside the West and within it. Presenting a balanced treatment of political; social; religious; and cultural history; this text emphasizes the ever-shifting boundaries of the geographic and cultural realm of the West.

They state:Print Replica Kindle books maintain the rich formatting and layout of their related print editions and offer many of the advantages of standard Kindle books. Features include:Notes and highlightsSearch; copy and pasteZoom and panPop-out linked table-of-contentsThis is a problem - on 7" tablets or a first-gen iPad; it is impossible to read without zooming and panning. I would like to read it on my laptop; as it says in the description that it is available for all platforms; but when I try it tells me it can only be read via a Kindle app on a mobile device.Now that I see they've released a Kindle Fire app for PCs; I'll try that tonight and see if it's any better.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Breadth and DepthBy MichaelSubtracting a star for the lack of insight on indigenous religions. It is harder to go in depth but can give better understanding into the development of religion. Perhaps this is for a different textbook. The other chapters have such depth; however; and it is sad for it to end; so to speak.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Although it did have a good bit of information in itBy YogglesThis "book" reminded me more of a magazine rather than a higher educational reference book. Although it did have a good bit of information in it; I don't like feeling as if my intelligence is being insulted and or the material being "dumbed-down" in order to appeal to the younger generation of college goers.
