User’s Reviews
Editorial Reviews: Review �Of all the texts that I have read and used, Spielvogel provides the best overall summary. It is more balanced than any other text and its straightforward chronological approach is most suited to introductory students.��I prefer Spielvogel to [other texts]. First of all, WESTERN CIVILIZATION has one author and reads better as a result. The reading experience is more ‘seamless’ for my students. [One text] didn’t have enough detail, while [another text] had too much at times, or so my students claimed. Spielvogel has just the right balance.��Bay College adopts Spielvogel because it is ‘THE’ text for Western Civilization. Other texts are adequate but Spielvogel presents an INTRODUCTORY view that covers the Core Concepts. Spielvogel is not too political, not too religious, not too economy-focused.� About the Author Jackson J. Spielvogel is Associate Professor Emeritus of History at The Pennsylvania State University.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐Came on time and as expected. School purchase.
⭐Book arrived on time, and in excellent condition. I used an e-book of this text for a two-part college course a while back, and liked it so much that I decided to get a physical copy of it. I would recommend watching for it go on sale though, as it can be quite pricey. I got mine, new, for $92. If you like History and want a text that goes from the beginning of recorded history to present day that has many insights into the daily lives of our ancestors, this may be the book for you.
⭐Had this book for a class in school, wanted one of my own.
⭐If you like history this book is for you! Great pictures love the timelines they help you for quizzes and test. It also brought back memories when I was in grade school!
⭐thanks for a great book and prompt service
⭐Great high level overview either for current students to supplement course material or a refresher for older people, like myself, looking to brush up.
⭐Words were so small I could not read it very well.
⭐Good condition
⭐Need almost 2 weeks to arrive from England, the rest a great☺
