Riassunto

This book describes our Western heritage through interpretive themes of “supremacies and diversities.” “Supremacies” emphasizes power. “Diversities” illustrates the creativity of new ideas and associations. Other topical themes include technology, migration and conquest, political and economic decision making, church and state, and disputes about the meaning of life.
