Western Civilization

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank the many teachers and students who have used previous editions ofWestern Civilization: A Brief History. I am gratified by their enthusiastic response to a textbook that was intended to put the storyback inhistoryand capture the imagination of the reader. I especially thank the many teachers and students who made the effort to contact me personally to share their enthusiasm. I am deeply grateful to John Soares for his assistance in preparing the map captions and to Charmarie Blaisdell of Northeastern University

for her detailed suggestions on women’s history. Daniel Haxall of Kutztown University provided valuable assistance with materials on postwar art, popular culture, postmodern art and thought, and the digital age. I am especially grateful to Kathryn Spielvogel for her work as a research associate. Thanks to Cengage’s compre- hensive review process, many historians were asked to evaluate my manuscript and review each edition. I am grateful to the following for the innumerable suggestions that have greatly improved my work:
