  • "The Rise and Fall of Civilizations, a sequel to The Light of Civilization, is a study of the history of civilizations. Nicholas Hagger describes religion as the basis for civilization. Saints, mystics, gurus, prophets, religious founders, it is these that drive history rather than kings and politicians. He outlines the patterns of the civilizations themselves, providing a unique interpretation of the dynamics of their origin, rise and collapse. Essential reading for students of history, it will interest all seeking to understand historical patterns and the direction in which our civilization is heading today."
