The West: Encounters and Transformations takes a new approach to telling
the story of Western Civilization.
Rather than looking at Western Civilization only as the history of
Europe from ancient times to the present, this groundbreaking book examines
the changing nature of the West - how the definition of the West has
evolved and transformed throughout history. It explores the ways Western
civilization has changed as a result of cultural encounters with different
beliefs, ideas, technologies, and peoples, both outside the West and
within it. Presenting a balanced treatment of political, social, religious,
and cultural history, this new text emphasizes the ever-shifting boundaries
of the geographic and cultural realm of the West, with special attention
given to Eastern Europe and the Muslim world, Africa, Asia, and the
Americas.
