SURVEY HISTORIES
Bossenbrook and Others
A HISTORY OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION
A broad, cultural survey that views successive civilizations not as
static little islands of the past, but as stepping-stones over which
man has advanced to the present. Part Two, concerned with the
common cultural tradition of Europe that forms the civilization
in which we live today, squarely faces the critical problem of the
present with a challenging investigation into the nature and values
of our cultural tradition and of its capacity for adjustment.
