In this revised edition of Western Civilization: Their History & Their Culture (2009), Cole (U. of California, Berkeley) and historians at Harvard and Yale introduce a somewhat briefer, more coherent narrative of Europe in the context of world history. They balance coverage of influential political, economic, social, and cultural trends through historical periods with that of technological developments, daily life, and art. The well-illustrated undergraduate-level text includes competing viewpoints, and tips on analyzing primary sources and interpreting visual evidence, as well as color maps, a table of rulers, further readings, a glossary, and access to a companion website.
