Author: FELIPE FERNÁNDEZ-ARMESTO Title: Civilizations
Description: Pan Macmillan Adult MM, 2001. Paperback. Pp: 600. Civilizations redefines the subject that has fascinated historians from Thucydides to Gibbon to Spengler to Fernand Braudel: the nature of civilization. To the author, Oxford historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, a society's relationship to climate, geography, and ecology are paramount in determining its degree of success. Unlike previous attempts to write the comparative history of civilizations, he writes, it is arranged environment by environment, rather than period by period or society by society.
