New to this edition: * More art and literature of women and minorities provide a balanced view of the influences which have shaped western culture. * Values Boxes which provide special topics and ideas have been redesigned. * New material added includes new art, timelines, and maps as well as discussions of contemporary issues in western society. * New readings and selections.
