A History of Western Society is one of the most successful textbooks available because it captures students' interest in the everyday life of the past; tying social history to politics and culture. The tenth edition has been thoroughly revised to strengthen readability and the attention to daily life; and incorporate new scholarship.

Even if you were to purchase it for the historical content; you would find that it is informative and an interesting read none the less.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. History book that takes you on a journeyBy Glenn A. CarletonI read a little each night; and feel she is taking me on a journey that has continuity. Pictures and maps add great value. One of my favorite history books; I have learned a great deal; compliments other history reading I do. I intend to read it again; expect to have a solid framework from a West perspective.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good review bookBy Power Ball PythonsI bought this to study for the Western Civilization II CLEP test. It was well worth it. It's somewhat compact but covers a lot detail of what I needed to know on the test. Also; not nearly as dry as some other history text books. It included lots of pictures and maps and little side paragraphs to help you get an idea of the how the current event you were reading about related to the other things going on in the world at the time. I learned a lot from this book; and also the previous book covering earlier history in Volume I. One other neat thing is that they have a link to a website where you can study this material and take chapter tests.
