Book Description
This eBook edition has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. The Status Civilization concerns Will Barrent, a man who finds himself, without memory of any crime or, indeed, of his previous life, being shipped across space to the planet Omega. Omega, used to imprison extreme offenders, has a hierarchical society of extreme brutality, where the only way to advance (and avoid dying) is to commit an endless series of crimes. The average life expectancy from time of arrival on Omega is three years. Barrent attempts to survive and escape, so he can return to Earth to clear himself of the accusations against him.

Book Description
Yes sir. Well, there are three men outside trying to kill me. . . . Quite right, Mr. Frendlyer said. And today is Landing Day. You came off the ship that landed today, and have been classified a peon. . . . I'm happy to say that everything is in order. The Landing Day Hunt ends at sundown. You can leave here with the knowledge that everything is correct and that your rights have not been violated. Leave here? After sundown, you mean. Mr. Frendlyer shook his head and smiled sadly. I'm afraid not. According to the law you must leave here at once. But they'll kill me! That's very true. Unfortunately it can't be helped. A victim by definition is one who is to be killed. . . . We protect rights, not victims. OMEGA: PRISON PLANET LIFE EXPECTANCY: THREE YEARS MAXIMUM MOST PEOPLE ARE LUCKIER THAN THAT. . . .

Book Description
The Emergence of Civilisation is a major contribution to our understanding of the development of urban culture and social stratification in the Near Eastern region. Charles Maisels argues that our present assumptions about state formation, based on nineteenth century speculations, are wrong. His investigation illuminates the changes in scale, complexity and hierarchy which accompany the development of civilisation. The book draws conclusions about the dynamics of social change and the processes of social evolution in general, applying those concepts to the rise of Greece and Rome, and to the collapse of the classical Mediterranean world.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
