Synopsis
Beginning with the advent of writing and ending with the twin pillars of the modern world - the invention of the steam engine and the founding of the modern state - this work examines the physical, intellectual and social institutions of the Western world. Through examination of this societal evolution, answers are sought to the many questions surrounding Western society in an analysis that combines history, sociology, philosophy and scientific observation.
