About the Book
Key information about Peak Human, grouped so you can check the edition before comparing offers.
Synopsis
Seven major civilisations are examined through their periods of growth, creativity and influence, from ancient Athens and Abbasid Baghdad to Song China, Renaissance Italy, the Dutch Republic and the Anglosphere. The book considers how cultural flourishing, scientific progress and economic development can emerge in different settings, and why such moments of exceptional success may not last.
This is a comparative history of societies and ideas, focused on the conditions that support a golden age and the pressures that can bring it to an end. It is suited to readers interested in civilisations, historical change and the broad patterns behind long-term social and economic development.
