{"product_id":"history-of-ancient-civilization-classic-reprint","title":"History of Ancient Civilization (Classic Reprint)","description":"The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. Professor Charles Seignobos, a French historian and Doctor of Letters of the University of Paris, originally released this book in France, titled \u003ci\u003eHistoire de la Civilisation\u003c\/i\u003e. With the success and widespread use of his work in France, particularly in schools, it was thought that this would be a good resource for students in other countries, especially in the U.S. Thus, this English translation, aptly named \u003ci\u003eHistory of Ancient Civilization\u003c\/i\u003e, came to be published in 1906. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 391-page, 27-chapter volume begins its exposition with prehistoric times and concisely discussed the four ages and ends with the later empire and the organization of the Church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author managed to distill the important aspects of various periods in history, which adds to the academic appeal of this edition. Grade school and secondary level students will find this an easy read as the writing style is straightforward, using uncomplicated sentence structures and words. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt also helps that the information the book contains is divided in short paragraphs with headings in bold letters. As such, it's easy for readers to search for certain passages. This shows that this is a work designed to be used as a reference material. Many of the titles published at the turn of the century did not make much use of the divisions that Professor Seignobos employed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAside from students, those who are interested in history or want to revisit the origins of modern civilization as a recreational activity will enjoy reading \u003ci\u003eHistory of Ancient Civilization\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
