من عنوان الكتاب، قسّم المؤلف كتابه لعدة بحوث في تاريخ الحضارات، مثل مبحث عوامل النشوء ومبحث عوامل السقوط، وينظر كل منها إلى زاوية محددة ويناقشها سياسيًا وعسكريًا واجتماعيًا واقتصاديًا ودينيًا بأسلوب ماتع يجعل القارئ يرى إحدى الحضارات كما لو أنها كيان متجسد من هذه العوامل التي تتطور وتنحدر لأسباب داخلية وخارجية. المبحث الواحد يكون عبر العصور وفي مختلف الحضارات ويسقط الكثير من أحداثها على زمانه (منتصف القرن الماضي).
