Book Overview
"In this concise book... Braudel summarizes the broad themes of his three-volume "Civilisation materielle et capitalisme, 1400-1800" and offers his reflections on the historian's craft and on the nature of the historical imagination... Taken as a whole, the book is provocative and stimulating. On occasion, it rises to revelation when two or three sentences of compressed but brilliant prose force us to reconsider the events of an entire century or the history of a continent." -- "American Historical Review."

Excellent summary of one of the great works of history
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is an accessible summary of the theses that propel Braudel's great work and the conclusions that he derived. It should be treated not as a substitute for immersion in "Capitalism and Civilization", but as a compelling inducement to the same.
