Arnold Toynbee's A Study of History has been acknowledged as one of the greatest achievements of modern scholarship. A ten-volume analysis of the rise and fall of human civilizations, it is a work of breath-taking breadth and vision. D.C. Somervell's abridgement, in two volumes, of this magnificent enterprise, preserves the method, atmosphere, texture, and, in many instances, the very words of the original. Originally published in 1947 and 1957, these two volumes are themselves a great historical achievement. Volume 1, which abridges the first six volumes of Toynbee's study, includes the Introduction, The Geneses of Civilizations, and The Disintegrations of Civilizations. Volume 2, an abridgement of Volumes VII-X, includes sections on Universal States, Universal churches, Heroic Ages, Ccontacts Between Civilizations in Space, Contacts Between Civilizations in Time, Law and Freedom in History, The Prospects of the Western Civilization, and the Conclusion. Of Somervell's work, Toynbee wrote, "The reader now has at his command a uniform abridgement of the whole book, made by a clear mind that has not only mastered the contents but has entered into the writer's outlook and purpose."

评分湯因比全書貫穿這一種神秘主義的曆史取嚮。指齣文明的成長與衰落正是一個挑戰-應戰的循環往復的過程，其中的關鍵在於少數創造性群體能否承擔其領到普羅大眾進步的關鍵使命（也依賴於普羅大眾是否能夠模仿少數者的能力）。這一過程在湯因比看來恰似中國古代的陰陽相生之道。在實現統一國傢、高級宗教和蠻族軍事集團的EVA式的死與新生之後，隻有化作人形的神靈救世主纔能領導文明重新走嚮復蘇。
