A Study of History: Volume I: Abridgement of Volumes I-VI

By: Arnold J. Toynbee

Toynbee's analysis of the rise and fall of civilizations has been acknowledged as an achievement without parallel in modern scholarship. This abridgement, while reducing the work to one-sixth of its original size, preserves its method, atmosphere, texture, and for the most part, the author's very words.

A Study of History

Abridgement of Volumes VII-X

By: Arnold J. Toynbee

Acknowledged as one of the greatest achievements of modern scholarship, Arnold Toynbee's A Study of History is a ten-volume analysis of the rise and fall of human civilizations. Contained in two volumes, D.C. Somervell's abridgement of this magnificent enterprise preserves the method, atmosphere, texture, and, in many instances, the very words of the original. First published in 1947 and 1957, these two volumes are themselves a great historical achievement. Volume 2, which abridges Volumes VII-X of Toynbee's study, includes sections on Universal States, Universal Churches, Heroic Ages, Contacts Between Civilizations in Space, Contacts Between Civilizations in Time, Law and Freedom in HIstory, The Prospects of the Western Civilization, and the Conclusion. Of Somervell's work, Toynbee wrote, "The reader now has at his command a uniform abridgement of the whole book, made by a clear mind that has not only mastered the contents but has entered into the writer's outlook and purpose.

Experiences

By: Arnold Toynbee

The author writes "In the first and third parts of 'Experiences' I am the subject as well as the narrator. I the second part I am an observer and an appraiser. This second part is a survey of, and a commentary on, human afffairs in my lifetime." That lifetime, he points out, has been remarkable both for the extension through medical science of the individual's chances of longevity, and for the unprecedented rapidity of change in science and technology, education and public affairs. The personal writings in the first section show how he reached the standpoint from which he observes the world. He adds in the third part a collection of verses he has written at various times, mainly in Greek and Latin.

Turkey

A Past and a Future

By: Arnold Joseph Toynbee

Arnold Joseph Toynbee (1889 -1975) was a British historian. Toynbee worked for the Political Intelligence Department of the British Foreign Office during World War I and served as a delegate to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. Toynbee presents history as the rise and fall of civilizations, rather than the history of nations or of ethnic groups. Turkey: A Past and a Future was written in 1917. This is an excellent reference book for anyone interested in Turkish history.

The Industrial Revolution

By: Arnold Toynbee

The subject of these lectures is the Industrial and Agrarian Revolution at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries. Including chapters on England in 1760, the mercantile system and Adam Smith, the growth of pauperism and the future of the working classes. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
