Prehistory and The Beginnings of Civilization.
II. The Ancient World.
III. The World A.D. 400 to A.D. 1300.
IV. The World A.D. 1300 to the End of the Eighteenth Century.
V. The World in the Nineteenth Century.
VI. The Twentieth Century. All but the first volume of the _History_
deal with the epoch during which civilization has played a fateful role
in world affairs.
Professor Arnold J. Toynbee's ten volume _Study of History_ is concerned
chiefly with the rise and decline of those civilizations which have left
a noteworthy historical record. His emphasis is geographical and
political rather than cultural and social. The same thing may be said of
other histories of civilization. They stress personalities, nations and
empires.
There are few books which approach the study of civilization as a stage
or level of human culture. Among them are:
Abbott, Wilbur C, _The Expansion of Europe_, N.Y.: Holt, 1918.
2 vols.
Adams, Brooks, _The Law of Civilization and Decay_, N.Y.: Knopf,
1943.
Adams, Brooks, _The New Empire_, N.Y.: MacMillian, 1902.
Adams, George B., _Civilization During the Middle Ages_, N.Y.:
Scribners, 1914.
Albanes, Ricardo C, _La Civilizacion y el Communismo Marxista_,
Habana: Cultural S.A., 1937.
Ashley, Percy W., _Europe from Waterloo to Sarajero_, N.Y.:
Knopf, 1926.
Baikie, James, _The Life of the Ancient East_, N.
