Many items, of course, refer by volume and page number to more complete treatment in the main text, and indicate where maps, charts, and pictures can be found. Many others. are self - contained, covering more obscure subjects with, a sentence or two. The result Is that Comptons. manages to treat a fewer number of subjects.in . more detail and at the same CASTLE a desperate attempt to replace xlinear. view, of history by a cyclical 4h characteristic theory ideology of a society , in the decline.
