ISBN10: 0333901711, ISBN13: 9780333901717, [publisher: Pan Macmillan, United Kingdom, London] Softcover This enormous project is based on the premise that civilizations are the product of their environment. With that, Fernandez-Arnesto looks at cultures of the desert, the tundra and ice, then to the more obvious civilizations of alluvial flood plains, the highlands, maritime civilizations and finally civilizations of travel, migration and expansion. This is a work of massive cross referencing juxtaposing the maritime civilizations of Japan and Northern Africa or the mountain civilizations of New Guinea and Tibet. The effect is to suggest that civilization can happen anywhere - that no one environment is uniquely conducive, or that no one race or people are more productive than another. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

ISBN10: 0333901711, ISBN13: 9780333901717, [publisher: Macmillan, UK] Hardcover First Edition Civilizations' is a richly layered, hawk's eye image of the world - whole societies evoked from minute fragments of evidence. It is an immensely readable and controversial work about the environment and historical relationship to it, which challenges the notion the nature is weak in the face of the human threat. The boards are square and tight, the text block has light marks on the base and the dust jacket has rippling to the edges. Book price includes 2nd class parcel post in UK only.
