Description
Arnold Toynbee's A Study of History: Volume I is a comprehensive analysis of the rise and fall of human civilizations. This two-volume abridgement, edited by D.C. Somervell, presents a uniform and accessible version of Toynbee's groundbreaking work. Volume I covers the first six volumes of Toynbee's study, including the Introduction, The Geneses of Civilizations, and The Disintegrations of Civilizations. Volume II, also abridged by Somervell, explores Universal States, Universal churches, Heroic Ages, Contacts Between Civilizations in Space, Contacts Between Civilizations in Time, Law and Freedom in History, and more. Toynbee himself praised Somervell's work for its ability to preserve the original author's method, atmosphere, and words. This edition offers a clear and concise overview of human history, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of civilization.
