內容簡介

History is not merely an open account of the past records about what has happened or what has not happened in a given period of time. It is a dynamic and fluid picture composed of vivid people and interesting events that have made history what it has appeared today. There is no exception to any type of history including cultural history. This reader, which can be taken as a textbook for the global cultural history is a bold and sagacious attempt to present learners with a panoramic view, review and analytical evaluation of what has happened in the past in history that has made the world what it is now today against the cultural background. If, broadly defined, culture means a way of life, the whole human history of civilization is a history of cultural ideas and behavior.
