 | | She later became something of a rarity in refusing to support the subsequent merger of the SDP with the Liberals (to form the Liberal Democrats), reacting instead by moving back towards Labour when the rump SDP collapsed. | | | Toynbee's comments on this background are extremely rare. | | | She now lives with the journalist David Walker, with whom she has collaborated on books reviewing the successes and failures of New Labour in power. |

| | National Review: Arnold J. Toynbee: A Life. - book reviews |
| | IT IS FASHIONABLE nowadays for academic historians far less learned than Arnold J. Toynbee to snip and sneer at him and the vast project to which he devoted his life: the synthesis of global history within a single framework based ostensibly on empirical scholarship rather than metaphysical or religious speculation. | | | What is missing is any systematic account of what Toynbee believed and why he believed it, and nowhere in the book is there any statement of the general theory of history and civilization that he articulated. | | | McNeill believes that in an age of "global culture" Toynbee's work may yet enjoy a renaissance. |

| | Toynbee believes that one will end in the death of the West, the other offers a hope of new life. | | | While Toynbee finds striking similarities between Christianity, Islam, Mahayana and Hinduism, they all have very unique features that met the challenges of their own times and places of origin. | | | Thus the incredulity of Pompey when he found no object of worship in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, and charges of atheism against early Christians by their pagan neighbors while the Jews denounced these same Christians as blasphemers. |

| | After reading this bio I concluded that Toynbee's theories and prophecies have not proved overly valid. | | | This biography of Toynbee by the eminent historian William H. McNeill is of consistent interest and does not fail to relate Toynbee's troubled personal life as well as explore his eminent historical writing life. | | | Indeed, such was the regard for his Study that Time magazine, in a cover article on Toynbee published in 1947, declared that he had "found history Ptolemaic and left it Copernican." |

| | Arnold J. Toynbee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Toynbee presented history as the rise and fall of civilizations, rather than the history of nation-states or of ethnic groups. | | | Toynbee's ideas have not perhaps proved of great influence on other historians; his overall theory certainly was taken up by some scholars, for example, Ernst Robert Curtius, as a sort of paradigm in the post-war period. | | | Not all would agree with his thesis, of course; but his unit of study is the Latin-speaking world of Christendom and Toynbee's ideas feed into his account very naturally: |

| | Toynbee's research focused on questions of how civilizations were created and why some flourished while others failed. | | | From 1925 to 1955, when he retired, Toynbee held the Chair of research professor of International History at the University of London, and was also the director of studies at the Royal Institute of International Affairs. | | | Toynbee discovered that challenges (such as those of climate and foreign invasion) great enough to cause extinction of culture if not met successfully, but not so severe that the culture could not respond creatively, was the ideal condition in which great civilizations developed. |
