Defining the term 'civilization' is difficult and occupies much theoretical thinking. In The Paths of Civilization Jaroslav Krejcí traces the processes that led to the rise of civilisations - urban and literate socieities - in the Levant, South and Southeast Asia, East Asia and Europe. That said, the book is immersed in theory and. although offered as 'a text for wider readership interested in the global comprehension of history', the general reader would find it a little heavy-going. The final chapters review the major turning points in history and address the modern process of globalisation.
