How the world made the West : a 4,000 year history / Josephine Quinn ; maps by Michael Athanson

This history challenges the narrative of a self-contained Western civilisation, arguing instead that its roots lie in millennia of global contact and exchange. It traces cultural influences from the ancient Near East, India, and the Steppe to redefine Western origins.
