Makes the study of the West matter today
The Making of the West offers a geographically and culturally expansive conception of the West that prepares students to understand today’s globalized world. Its integrated chronological narrative makes the impact of historical developments clear by highlighting the interconnections among the politics, people, and ideas of a specific period. From the book’s conception, the authors — a team of renowned scholars and expert teachers — have worked to provide a new vision of the West based on cutting-edge scholarship. The narrative — enhanced by a rich and informative art and map program — distills the latest research and consistently treats topics underserved in other books: the West in global perspective, high and popular art and culture, and gender.
 "The Making of the West is possibly the best western civ textbook available today. It is a truly balanced book with great breadth that integrates social, cultural and political history. It has real scholarly muscle behind it, but at the same time it is written to spark students’ interest. This is a great textbook that should serve a wide range of students at many different schools."
— Sara Chapman, Oakland University (MI)
