…I loved the little details, as well as the way Cooper presents the bigger picture. Empires and polities, some well known and some unfamiliar, are depicted vividly, with the circumstances of their collapse a warning from the farthest reaches of history. A stunning achievement #fallofcivilisations

I was very kindly sent a copy of @paulmmcooper.bsky.social Fall of Civilisations by @duckworthbooks.bsky.social which was published in paperback a few weeks ago. The depth and breadth of the research for this book, which is on a global scale is phenomenal… #fallofcivilisations

Thanks to @duckworthbooks.bsky.social for sending me a copy of @paulmmcooper.bsky.social fascinating Fall of Civilisations, published in paperback this week. Looking at the rise and fall of some of the world’s greatest civilisations, it tells an epic tale on a global scale #fallofcivilisations

I love the #FallofCivilisations podcast but MY GOD the Fall of the Aztecs episode hits *hard*
