ISBN10: 0743202481, ISBN13: 9780743202480, [publisher: Free Press] Hardcover No culture, Fernández-Armesto writes, is inherently exempt from becoming civilized; nor, he adds, does civilized equate to good. In exploring history as a branch of historical ecology, he sometimes abandons his thesis, intriguing and provocative as it is, to engage in a wide-ranging survey of the world past reminiscent of (but much better-written than) Toynbee and Durant, touching on the ancient Greeks here, the herding peoples of the African savanna and Central Asia there, the Moundbuilders of prehistoric North America and the hunting peoples of the Arctic there. Unlike many standard textbooks, his narrative manages to offer something new wherever he turns. [New Castle, CO, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: 2001]

ISBN10: 0743202481, ISBN13: 9780743202480, [publisher: Free Press; Simon & Schuster, New York] Hardcover First Edition xii, 545 pages; 25 cm. Tight, clean copy. Age toning. Dust jacket with light edgewear. "Erudite, wide-ranging, a work of dazzling scholarship written with extraordinary flair, 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.' Thus, for example, tundra civilizations of Ice Age Europe are linked with those of the Inuit of the Pacific Northwest, the Mississippi Mound Builders with the deforesters of eleventh-century Europe. Civilizations brilliantly connects the world of ecologist, geologist, and geographer with the panorama of cultural history. / Felipe Fernandez-Armesto is a Professorial Fellow of Queen Mary, University of London, and a member of the Modern History Faculty at Oxford University. He is the author of twelve books, including Millennium and Truth: A History." - Publisher. Size: 8vo [Santa Barbara, CA, U.S.A.] [Publication Year: ...
