"Each nation has its own culture and civilization of which it not only feels proud but it also wishes to preserve that at all costs. History of World Civilization began with the coming of man on the surface of the earth. Beginning was made with the man of Old Stone Age. Some changes in making of tools, ways of hunting, methods of living and cultivation etc. came during new Stone Age Period. All old civilizations like Greek, Indus, Mesopotamian etc. developed near the river valleys because of several reasons. Each civilization had its own peculiar features, reasons for its quick spread and also for its down fall." (jacket)
