This bright new edition of a perennial favorite, Western Civilizations by Lerner, Meacham, and Burns, once again finds new ways of supporting instructors and students without sacrificing the hallmarks of its success. The Thirteenth Edition offers a new look to go along with its thoroughly revised content. It features an attractive new design with maps and illustrations in color throughout. And to underscore the clarity of the presentation for students, each chapter now ends with a box highlighting the major themes of the chapter.
