Carroll Quigley - The Evolution of Civilizations

'Give us seeds so that we may live and not die' (Gen 47:19). (from amazon.com) [b]This is the bible of historical analysis[/b] This is a history book like no others. The author developed a detailed model of civilization life cycle analysis. According to him, civilizations pass through 7 predictable stages. Typically the 7th and last stage of one civilization is the first stage of another one that is succeeding the first dying civilization. Using his model, he analyzes in detail the life cycle of several major civilizations, including: the Mesopotamian, Minoan, Classical, Russian, and Western. Reading this book almost feels like uncovering a manuscript of secret knowledge. Although I have read quite a bit on this subject, other historians and authors rarely refer to Quigley. Yet, I feel that he is the giant within his field of historical analysis. And, that his model could serve well in better understanding current affairs.

It would seem that many people like intelligent books, I alone have upped 100 of this book in a week. However I would not consider your remark on Islam very intelligent I'm afraid. Islam is just another religion and should be treated no more and no less. Sadly the crazy neocons in the US government want to spread lies about it, to create an enemy, as they figure they won't last if all is peace and dandy.
