Offers a synthesis of historical developments during the last one thousand years, it sketches the outlines of a renewed materialist history while engaging the critical new understanding of material processes derived from the sciences of dynamics. It is an entirely novel approach to the study of human societies and their always mobile, semi-estable forms, cities, economies, technologies and languages.
