I require a reference book because you need to read the background information to prep for class. There is a lot of ground to cover and to make the best use of time in class I expand on the ideas and themes within chapters in the book, not recite what is in the book.

Please purchase: Western Civilizations, Combined Volume by Cole & Symes

**All other required readings will be available in the “Course Documents Folder” and via the “Course Schedule” on our WordPress site, indicated (WP) on the syllabus.
