Originally published between 1920-70,The History of Civilization was a landmark in early twentieth century publishing. It was published at a formative time within the social sciences, and during a period of decisive historical discovery. The aim of the general editor, C.K. Ogden, was to summarize the most up to date findings and theories of historians, anthropologists, archaeologists and sociologists. This reprinted material is available as a set or in the following groupings:

This book is your essential guide to mastering the fundamentals of electrical analysis. Starting with direct current (DC), it explores batteries, current, voltage, and key concepts like Ohm’s Law and Kirchhoff’s Laws for circuit analysis.
