There is no doubt that the natural environment has an impact on the economic, social and political systems of countries. The ancients have alerted to this and built their diverse hypotheses about the impact of climate and the environment on humans and their activities. In this important academic research, the researcher Ahmad Al-Ajlan provides a study on how Ibn Khaldun and Montesquieu discussed the impact of the natural environment on human society. The importance of Ibn Khaldun as the most prominent Arab sociologist is universally recognized, and Montesquieu's treatise on the political theory and his pioneering work in comparative law had a great influence on the Renaissance in Europe. This book explains the ambiguity and confusion about the "Muqaddimah" by Ibn Khaldun and Montesquieu's "Spirit of Law", which are highly controversial and have different interpretations that may serve completely contradictory ideas. The book benefits all interested and specialists in the fields of sociology, philosophy, history, and geography.
