A History of Civilizations book cover

A History of Civilizations

Fernand Braudel

Discover a sweeping survey of modern world civilizations in this fascinating history book. Written from an anti-ethnocentric approach, it explores the broad sweep and continuities of history rather than the event-based technique used in most other texts. Explore the greatness and decline of Islam, the past and future of black Africa, the transformation of China and India, the rise of Latin America and the United States, and much more. This book is the perfect tool for getting a big picture look at the history of civilizations.
