I find Professor Weber's work to include the raw, source material of our collective western education. Read the original work and draw conclusions for yourself. This is instruction in its purest form.

This is not a book review but a comment on the customer service. I've typically receive my online orders within a week. However, when this book didn't show up by the expected delivery date (about 3 weeks later), I've contacted the seller. After the seller couldn't located it, a replacement was shipped and I received the book within a week. I would order from this seller again.

If you are interested, Eugen Weber has recorded 15 hours of lectures on the Western Tradition on the following site learner.org in the social studies category. He is fascinating to listen to and I really suggest having a look.
Insight Into History
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is a list of primary sources on the major events of European History from the Renaissance to the present. Weber does a good job of presenting balanced viewpoints (except maybe in the case of evolution, where he's definitely pro) The works are a bit dry, but that's not his fault. Plus, he gives a quick summary of each author before presenting his work. Perfect for AP classes (as practice for DBQs)
