In search of civilization : remaking a tarnished idea

Armstrong, John, 1966-2010
Books
The idea of civilization is a complex one, tangled up for years in ideas of colonialism and politics. John Armstrong explores the nature and aims of civilization as he examines how civilizing forces from the Greeks to the Renaissance have shaped and coloured our ideas of what a good existence means.
