William H. Mcneill

McNeill's most popular work is '' The Rise Of The West ''. The book explored World History in terms of the effect of different old world civilisations on one another, and especially the dramatic effect of Western Civilization on others in the past 500 years. It had a major impact on historical theory, especially in distinction to Oswald Spengler 's view of distinct, independent civilizations. McNeill is the son of theologian James T. McNeill and the father of historian, J. R. McNeill . His most recent book, with his son, is ''The Human Web''.
