The whys, hows, and mechanics of history.

C. D. Darlington looks at history from the perspective of biology and human behavior. Instead of simply declaring that thus-and-such happened, followed by such-and-thus, Darlington tells us why things happened. He describes the engines which have driven both historical individuals and civilizations to do as they have done. It's all there, from soup to nuts, in this comprehensive treatise on human civilization . . . and not in the least boring, I might add.
