About this product

Product Information

Felipe Fernandez-Armesto closely examines the world's societies, from the maritime civilizations of the Polynesians to the Dawada people of the Sahara. It is here that the author seeks the birth of civilization as we know it. Instead of stopping off at the usual cultural tourist spots of Imperial Rome, Enlightenment Paris and Renaissance Florence, Fernandez-Armesto takes us to unfamiliar territories that redefine our understanding of what it is to be civilized.The whole book is crammed with wonderfully anecdotal historical tales, shrewd insights and engaging arguments. In Civilizations Felipe Fernadez-Armesto has written an uniquely challenging and controversial work that shows us not just who we are, but also why we are. 'Fernandez-Armesto is a superb storyteller, with a barrel-full of anecdotes and a language as finely textured as any novelist's' Independent on Sunday

    My experience was positive re the seller, but negative towards the tracking service which claimed it had been delivered on 17 December. That was to the Danish Postal Service and it arrived in my hands earlier this afternoon. The information was so misleading that I received 2 reminders from ebay about not leaving feedback. The item was as described and well packaged. I will now get the chance to read the story about yet another character in the Blaydon Races song and my home town.

    Extremely happy with my book purchase. It was a great price, sent very promptly and is in better condition than described. It arrived in record time and I was kept informed by email every step of the way. Highly recommend this seller and will use again if needed. Thank you.

    The item came as described. The postage of this item is pretty good. The packaging of this item could be way way better as coming overseas in just a plastic bag is far from perfect. The value of this item is worth it. Great Item, Good Seller, Thanks!! A++
