The authors examine the Wests contributions to the world and how the west has changed and embraced new ideas through contact with the people outside its center.

The authors bring history to life by using art and maps as a central feature of learning. They build discussions of art into the narrative to help students interpret artwork, and provide analytical map guides that reveal the connections between geography, politics, and other developments.
