ISBN is an exact match, but this is a large soft cover book.

No mere detective story..We are given absorbing insights into (the) age--its history, its predicaments, its intricate politics and religious wars, its philosophy, mythology, science, handicrafts, cuisine, medicine and sorcery -- the London Times Literary Supplement
