520			_aThe West is a body of ideas, values, customs, and beliefs. These were forged over a period of centuries on the continent of Europe, which lay to the west of the then more advanced civilizations of the East. They triumphed during the centuries of European expansion: from approximately 1000 to 1900 of the Common Era, when Western values followed Western merchants, travelers, armies, and governors into every other corner of the inhabited globe. They are what the West means, and they are truly the meaning of the West ... We learn more about the Western world when we also examine the rest of the world ... This book will frequently pause in its narration of Western development to consider key aspects of non-Western civilizations, in the past and now.-Pref.
