'From about 13,000 BC it began to get warmer in Europe..' begins this all-encompassing survey of European cultural history. This book is a major and original contribution to the idea of Europe and its formation, from its Celtic and German origins, the influence of the Greeks and the Romans, the role of Christianity and the fruitful, if sometimes bloody, contacts with other cultures such as Islam.
Peter Rietbergen portrays Europe's history as a series of four grand phases of continuity and change set in the context of political, social and economic developments. A large selecton of illuminating excerpts are included to support the arguments. Europe is comprehensive, thorough and highly readable, and it will provide a stimulus for discussion among students and general readers alike.

"[Rietbergen] provides a broad synthetic interpretation of the past. In a series of thoughtful observations...he describes what he sees as the unique features of European culture....A sophisticated narrative." -"Choice "By Rietbergen, a magisterial review of Europe's cultural history from the Roman Empire to the post-WWII era....A thoughtful though ponderous meditation on the development of the 'European idea' and its significance for the world." -"Kirkus Reviews "It would make a good primer for undergraduates or the interested lay reader....For college and large public libraries." -"Library Journal, 12/98 "Very enjoyable to read...well presented and puts forward a very distinct point of view." -Paolo Rossi, University of Lancaster "A very useful...important essay on Europe as a cultural entity." -Duane J. Osheim, University of Virginia
