The author emphasizes the vicissitudes of institutions, culture, and social behavior throughout time, making it suitable for both classroom use and individual study. At the start of the work, the author outlines his vision for a historical text that maintains clarity while incorporating a wealth of detail. The preface describes his intent to avoid sectarian biases and provides a framework for understanding historical narrative as a continuous thread connecting societies across time. Fisher highlights the importance of geography, military history, and cultural development in understanding past human activities, emphasizing that history goes beyond mere chronology to encompass broader social and political dynamics.
