Book Review of Western Civilization: A Brief History to 1789

Western Civilization: A Brief History to 1789
reviewed on


"Perry makes the history of ideas as approachable as the history of events. The text shows how political, economic, and cultural aspects of Western Civilization have been shaped by a progression of ideas. A wealth of detailed maps, comparative timelines, chronologies, and chapter summaries all contribut to the effectiveness of Perry."
