Reviews
"Cultures of the West provides a solid, singular narrative that focuses on the larger values that define Western Civilization. At a time when the topic of Western Civilization is under great scrutiny, Backman brings to light many of the notable achievements of the West and their connection to a larger value system."--Anthony Nardini, Rowan University"Cultures of the West is professional, informative, clear, and well-written. Backman's approach of considering values behind institutions and events is clever and unique."--Carolyn Coretti, The University of Mississippi"This is an innovative approach to the history of the Western world, with an emphasis on the values behind historical changes and challenges. It offers a unique approach to the traditional histories of Western civilization by providing a focus on contributions from the Middle East along with the usual political and social narrative."--Matthew Ruane, Florida Institute of Technology"Cultures of the West is an excellent choice because of the singular narrative that focuses on culture while still communicating the important aspects needed for a survey course."--Patrice Laurent Diaz, Montgomery County Community College, "Cultures of the West provides a solid, singular narrative that focuses on the larger values that define Western Civilization.

Synopsis
Cultures of the West: A History, Third Edition, focuses on the ways in which the major ideas and passions of Western culture developed, internally, and how they interacted with the broader world--for good and for ill. The development of such key ideas as religion, science, and philosophy form the central narrative of this book. Cultures of the West stands apart from other textbooks in a variety of ways, the first being thematic unity. What did people think and believe, throughout our history, about human nature, the right way to live, God, the best forms of government, or the meaning of human life? Rather than maintaining a single interpretive stance, author Clifford R. Backman relies upon a consistent set of questions: What did people think and feel throughout the centuries about politics, science, religion, and sex? How did they come to their positions regarding the right way to live? Backman's many years of experience in the classroom have informed his approach--students respond to engaging questions more than they are inspired by facts., Cultures of the West: A History, Third Edition, focuses on the ways in which the major ideas and passions of Western culture developed, internally, and how they interacted with the broader world - for good and for ill.

    the book was not as described. the condition was listed as good, but what was delivered was not, and missing a dust jacket. they did refund me right away, and let me keep the book that was shipped. so, it was a bummer at first, but they more than made up for it.
