We believe in a Western tradition of freedom that has produced a fulfilling existence for many millions of people and a culture of enormous depth and creative power. But the history of our civilization is also filled with unspeakable brutality-for every Leonardo there is a Mussolini, for every Beethoven symphony a concentration camp, for every Chrysler Building a My Lai massacre.An ambitious historical assessment of the Western world-tying together the histories of empires, art, philosophy, science, and politics-Civilization reexamines and confronts us with all of our glories and catastrophes. At such a dangerous time in the world's history, this brilliant book is required reading.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52191638651168,"sku":"NEW1933648198","price":37.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71WmGBZNQlL.jpg?v=1786836844","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/civilization-a-new-history-of-the-western-world-1933648198","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
