In search of civilization : remaking a tarnished idea
Armstrong, John, 1966-2009
Book
What is civilization? John Armstrong embarks on a journey to the heart of the word and its meaning. Arguing that it is an idea of great importance, he challenges the modes of thinking that focus on civilization as purely political or cultural and reconnects its ideas to the intimate needs and concerns of life.
