Spielvogel/Spielvogel’s “Major Problems in Western Civilization, Volume I” 1st Edition, is developed with the singular narrative approach. Decades of research selecting core primary documents allow students and instructors to understand critical issues that shaped the history of Western Civilization. Students are introduced to major questions for each time period -- “Was there a Renaissance for Women?” and “Who started the Cold War?” -- through summarized introductions. Chapters include annotated timelines, major questions for the entire period and a comparative document exercise with historiographic essays. This diverse framework enables instructors to spend more time on significant discourse. The text engages teachers and students at the highest level. Instructors fit material into their course structure, including a range of questions for quiz and essay material.
