Melko M. The Nature of Civilizations
Civilizations and world-systems: studyng world-historical change, ed. Stephen K. Sanderson, Alta Mira Press, 1995, p. 25-45
Valiant attempts to define and describe giant cultures have become familiar in the 20th century. Spongier, Toynbee, Sorokin, and Kroeber have each offered impressive systems involving the conception of a number of exclusive, durable, mortal macrocultures that have come to be called "civilizations. " That these attempts have aroused considerable interest derives, no doubt, from a feeling that our own civilization might be facing the possibility of coming to an end, of "dying" if you will, as others apparently have in the past.

Publisher: Oxford University Press, 2003. 296 pages. Language: English. Donald Bloxham here examines the actions and trials of German soldiers and policemen, the use of legal evidence, the refractory functions of the courtroom, and Allied political and cultural preconceptions of both 'Germanism' and of German criminality. His evidence shows conclusively that the trials were a failure: the greatest of all 'crimes against humanity' — the 'final so...

Gale, 2004. - 685 pages. This detailed encyclopedia is the first to explore the many peoples of early European civilization.

Coverage extends from prehistoric origins through the early Middle Ages (8000 B.C. to A.D. 1000) when tribal movements...

Gale, 2004. - 521 pages. Such methods are the basis of this interesting reconstruction of European history from the first post-glacial foragers around 8000 B.C. to the Christianization of northern Europe about 1000 A.D. The focus is not the classical and medieval civilizations that recorded their history on clay, stone, papyrus and vellum, but the peoples who lived on the fringes of such societies, well beyond the reach of imperial swords and th...

Oxford University Press, 1996. 186 p. Nearly all literary criticism of the First World War contends, either directly or indirectly, with Paul Fussell's classic account in The Great War and Modern Memory (London: Oxford University Press, 1975). Indeed, the status of Fussell's thesis in studies of the war can hardly be overstated: although in rare cases critics do dispute Fussell's argument that "there seems to be one dominating form of modern un...

Thames & Hudson, 1972. - 576 p. In The Study, Toynbee revolutionized the writing of history. By encompassing virtually all civilizations - the Egyptian, the Sumeric, the Mayan, the Iranian, the Japanese, the Hellenic, and the West, to name only a few - within the scope of his monumental work, he achieved the first all-embracing synthesis of world history. Before Toynbee, world histories were histories of the West, and only specialists wrote...
