Toynbee Arnold. A Study of History
Thames & Hudson, 1972. - 576 p.
In The Study, Toynbee revolutionized the writing of history. By encompassing virtually all civilizations - the Egyptian, the Sumeric, the Mayan, the Iranian, the Japanese, the Hellenic, and the West, to name only a few - within the scope of his monumental work, he achieved the first all-embracing synthesis of world history. Before Toynbee, world histories were histories of the West, and only specialists wrote Babylonian, Arabian, or Aztec history. But Toynbee's scheme includes all nations and, more remarkably, by his emphasis on general patterns - on the genesis, growth and breakdown of civilizations - he was able to give a shape to this incredibly diverse material, making it comprehendable to the general reader.
