This volume shows that they can be successfully linked, providing a tool to see each subject in the context of the other, identifying influences and connections.</P>  <P><EM>Western Civilization in World History </EM>takes up the recent debates about the merits of the well-established 'Western civ' approach versus the newer field of world history. Peter N. Stearns outlines key aspects of Western civilization - often assumed rather than analyzed - and reviews them in a global context. </P>
