What reading level is The Measure of Civilization book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was at this time that the seagoing vessels that had learned to tack in the face of the wind discovered America, and sailed around the Cape of Good Hope. The returning adventur- CIVILIZATION ers from the West brought back the gold of the Montezumas and the Incas. Those follow- ing the new route to India and the Orient brought back silks and jewels. Trading com- panies were established to finance expeditions to the West and East Indies. With the dis- covery of an easy way around Africa, the Br...it- ish and Dutch ports became nearer to both the East and West Indies than were the Mediter- ranean ports, and the trade that had formerly come to Venice, Genoa and Marseilles, rapidly faded away.
Men were unsettled not only by the nmiors, but by the knowledge of enormous fortunes rapidly gained in foreign adventure, and com- merce was beginning to disturb the founda- tions on which all previous political conditions had been standing. Society was disrupted; the spirit of loyalty to the old regime faded before the dreams of advancing self-interest that promised so much for the individual.
