I've read parts of this and I like the way the author has chosen (so we can compare and discuss) important primary texts from different but contemporary cultures. The selections are short enough that they're not overwhelming to those who don't know the culture, with questions for thought by the author in-between.

This textbook is a collection of articles and primary sources covering ancient civilizations and their culture. Unlike most collections of this sort, this covers not just the Western Indo-European cultures, but Asian, Islamic, African and American ancient cultures as well. A nice mix of background articles and excerpts of primary texts, as well as discussion questions, probably geared towards advanced high school students.
