J., Rosenthal, Franz, Lawrence, Bruce B., Lawrence, Bruce: desertcart.co.uk: Stationery & Office Supplies Review: An exceptional book - This is a magnificent book, I highly recommend it to all. Ibn Khaldun was an exceptionally bright man (he is considered the father of economics and sociology by some, such is his greatness); during his time he held many influential political positions, he traveled around a great deal, he met many different types of people and studied with some of the greatest scholars in the Maghreb region. Due to his experiences he had a huge amount of knowledge and a lot of this knowledge is transferred into al-Muqaddimah. The book discusses a wide range of topics: the flaws of history works, how and why a dynasty rises and falls, what drives civilisation, sufism, alchemy, dream interpretation, etc. He gives us a fascinating insight as to how the world works (even now) and what civilisation was like during his life. This book will help you become more educated and it may even change your perspective of life. So yes buy this book you will not regret it! Review: Fascinating book. - I find it unbelievable that this book was written hundreds of years ago. So deep and detailed in real world facts and events, describing truthfully the beginning, glory days and decaying of empires. I wish that a summarised version is made available for our kids. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 16,786 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3 in History Curriculum Resources | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (602) | | Dimensions | 13.97 x 2.29 x 21.84 cm | | Edition | Abridged | | ISBN-10 | 0691166285 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0691166285 | | Item weight | 482 g | | Language | English | | Part of series | Princeton Classics | | Print length | 504 pages | | Publication date | 26 April 2015 | | Publisher | Princeton University Press | ## Images ![The Muqaddimah: An Introduction to History (Princeton Classics): An Introduction to History - Abridged Edition: 13 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719Hbj+QgtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An exceptional book *by A***R on 25 July 2013* This is a magnificent book, I highly recommend it to all.
