Customer Reviews

In the beginning...

Mumford endeavors to trace the development of civilization in this book, and will astound with well-rounded, informative summations of the construction of culture dating back to the 6th century BC. Anyone curious about parallels between the fall of the Greek and Roman empires and the fall of our own culture should read this book.
