The Making of the West is a story of interactions — cross-cultural exchanges that span the globe, as well as the ongoing interactions between societies, cultures, governments, economies, religions, and ideas. To highlight these interactions and help students grasp the vital connections between political, social, and cultural events, The Making of the West: A Concise History presents a comprehensive picture of each historical era within a brief chronological narrative. The book also situates Europe within a truly global context, facilitating students’ understanding of the events that have shaped their own times. A full-color map and art program deepen students’ understanding of the narrative.

Great book for such a cheap price,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Making of the West: A Concise History, Volume I: Peoples and Cultures (Making of the West, Peoples and Cultures) (Paperback)
This book is not in the best shape but the book was very cheap so that was alright with me. No pages are missing, so it is not a big deal that the cover and pages had some slight water damage. Plus it was not advertised as being in excellent shape.
