This panoramic volume, compiled by two of our most distinguished scholars, is the first work of its kind to reflect the realities of our evolving global civilization, placing equal emphasis on the contributions of non-Western societies and those of Europe and North America. Prepared by regional experts from five continents, the book's more than 1, 200 entries take in writers, musicians, rulers, deities, and philosophies. The result is a reference work that's at once vastly readable and indispensable for students, business people, or anyone who seeks a foothold in the civilization of the next millennium. | The Dictionary Of Global Culture by Kwame Anthony Appiah, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
