Book Description
Why does the West rule? In this magnum opus, eminent Stanford polymath Ian Morris answers this provocative question, drawing on 50,000 years of history, archeology, and the methods of social science, to make sense of when, how, and why the paths of development differed in the East and West — and what this portends for the 21st century. There are two broad schools of thought on why the West rules. Proponents of "Long-Term Lock-In" theories such as Jared Diamond suggest that from time immemorial, some critical factor — geography, climate, or culture perhaps — made East and West unalterably different, and determined that the industrial revolution would happen in the West and push it further ahead of the East. But the East led the West between 500 and 1600, so this development can't have been inevitable; and so proponents of "Short-Term Accident" theories argue that Western rule was a temporary aberration that is now coming to an end, with Japan, China, and India resuming their rightful places on the world stage. However, as the West led for 9,000 of the previous 10,000 years, it wasn't just a temporary aberration. So, if we want to know why the West rules, we need a whole new theory. Ian Morris, boldly entering the turf of Jared Diamond and Niall Ferguson, provides the broader approach that is necessary, combining the textual historian's focus on context, the anthropological archaeologist's awareness of the deep past, and the social scientist's comparative methods to make sense of the past, present, and future — in a way no one has ever done before.

Book Description
After challenging the multicultural effort to “provincialize” the history of Western civilization, this book argues that the roots of the West’s exceptional creativity should be traced back to the uniquely aristocratic warlike culture of Indo-European speakers.

Book Description
THE GLOBAL WEST: CONNECTIONS AND IDENTITIES (formerly MAKING EUROPE) isn't a traditional Western civ textbook--instead, it paints a globally connected portrait of the West through the lenses of politics, religion, social history, biography and cultural identity. Developed by authors who've spent years making history accessible to a diverse range of students, the book excels at teaching students the who, what and how of the subject: how to read primary documents, how to compare and contrast Western and non-Western sources and how to draw connections across time and geographic regions. Western civilization is the most difficult history course for many students. With a clear message that helps them grasp the origins of today's interconnected world, THE GLOBAL WEST aims to change that.
