Excerpt from An Introduction to Western Civilization: Revised
The classroom is the real testing ground of a textbook. Six years of educational experience with An Introduction to Western Civilization has brought to its authors the usual cargo of approval, suggestion, and criticism. The present revision Of the work has been responsive in large measure to the judg ments Of those using the book both here at Cincinnati and else where. The march of events has been even more pressing in its demands. Much water has run under the mill since 1933, when the Introduction was first published. Events whose significance could be seen but dimly six years ago now appear momentous in their portent for the present and the future. They have made necessary radical changes in those chapters dealing with contemporary events and problems in the fields Of economics, politics, and international relations.
The revision has been thoroughgoing throughout the volume. The omission of considerable matter found in the first edition has opened the way for additions Of new material designed to emch the content of the book and enhance its value for both teacher and student. But with all the omissions and additions the original plan and organization remain unchanged. It is the conviction Of the authors that the arrangement of materials, tested by results measured in terms of the educational aims originally set up, has proved its value.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book leads readers through a study of Western civilization, covering its origins in ancient civilizations to its current state. The author contends that Western Civilization, broadly defined as the civilization which developed in Europe and later spread to other parts of the globe, is not the creation of any one people, or group of peoples. Rather, it is the collective achievement of all peoples and of all time. The book examines human culture, analyzes its constituent elements, and describes and explains the forces which have combined to fashion and refashion culture, leading to the development of Western Civilization. Delving deep into the past, the author traces the long and devious paths that man has traveled, from savagery to high civilization. Essential for students of the social sciences, this book also makes an excellent primer for anyone seeking a better understanding of the historical, social, and cultural forces which continue to shape our world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
