Foundations Of Western Civilization Ii by Robert O. Bucholz

A concise survey of Western history from the early modern period through the twentieth century that traces political, social, economic, and cultural transformations—including the Renaissance, Reformation, state formation, Enlightenment, revolutions, industrialization, imperialism, and the world wars. It blends narrative with primary-source excerpts and analytical frameworks to show how ideas, institutions, and everyday life evolved over time and how European developments interacted with global processes.
