Editorial Review:
A team of renowned scholar-teachers created The Making of the West to address three of the biggest challenges teachers of western civilization face — demonstrating how the West has been an evolving entity shaped by global influences; conveying the dynamic interaction of social, political, cultural, and economic history in shaping events over time; and revealing the historical roots of developments in today’s world. Through a ground-breaking chronological synthesis, the narrative deftly weaves together the main events, people, and themes of a specific time, thus providing a balanced, easy-to-follow story line. New aids to guide student reading and enhancements to the book’s organization bring the essence of western history to the fore in the most accessible edition yet.

Rating: - textbook order
The textbook arrived in great condition, as promised. Unfortunately, it was not the right book for my daughter's class, so we returned it. I would definitely order again from this vendor.
Rating:  - Simple and information packed.
I very much enjoyed this book. It's written very simply, but is so information packed that I think if it were presented in any other way it would be too much to digest. I feel like I have a good idea of the time line of major civilizations, events, etc starting with the advent of cities after reading this. This is a book everyone should read, it filled in gaps in my knowledge I wasn't aware of and made me interested in researching more.
Rating:  - never got what i ordered
i never recived my textbook i ordered.....now i want a refund!
Rating: - A fascinating and illuminating book
This is a fascinating history of Western civilization that goes beyond the customary emphasis on kings and battles to looking also at changes in the culture and ideas of people over the centuries. It's so enjoyable that it is bedside reading for me, though still very authoritative. The many illustrations, often of period art, add to its appeal. It will tremendously broaden your understanding of how our society came to be what it is today.
