The West : a new historyVolume 2

This beautifully written history recentres the West and rekindles the past in a vivid narrative crafted for beginning students.

Grafton and Bell tell the epic story of a West engaged in a continuing search for order across politics, society and culture, driven by internal tensions and global influences.

They deliver the past not as a path to the present but as it was lived at the time, grounded in a balanced, comprehensive, chronological narrative.

Combined with rich digital resources to instill practical history skills, The West establishes a dynamic NEW foundation for teaching the Western Civilizations course.
