SummaryTable of Contents
It is our hope that the study of world civilizations, by showing students the processes that have brought them and their neighbors together, will help them better understand and appreciate one another. Through the exploration of the diverse civilizations of the world they should emerge better informed and more culturally sensitive.We have aimed not merely to describe the history of the world's civilization, but also to convey an inner sense of what each meant to those who lived in it. For that reason we have paid special attention to the emergence of the major religious traditions. These link today's civilizations to their most ancient roots and continue to exert a powerful influence worldwide. We have also endeavored to bring a comparative perspective to our survey and to trace the threads of interaction that have linked civilizations throughout history.
