Description
Civilizations: A wide-ranging exploration of the nature of civilization, this book redefines the subject that has fascinated historians for centuries. Oxford historian Felipe Fernández-Armesto argues that a society's relationship to its environment is crucial in determining its success.
Organized by environment rather than period or society, Civilizations connects the world of ecology, geology, and geography with the panorama of cultural history. By examining the similarities and differences between societies from diverse regions, Fernández-Armesto sheds new light on the complex relationships between human culture and the natural world.
This erudite work is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the intricate dynamics that shape human civilization.
