A complete history of Technic Civilization presented as a single-volume text book like HG Wells' The Shape Of Things To Come or Olaf Stapledon's Last And First Men. Although subsequent civilizations were also technologically based, I think that the phrase, "Technic civilization," applies only the the period between the establishment of the Solar Commonwealth and the Fall of the Terran Empire. However, there is considerably less information about later periods so it could probably all fit in one volume.
A complete history of the UN and of the Solar and Stellar Unions in Poul Anderson's earlier future history series.
A history of the timeline guarded by the Time Patrol in two parts:
(i) an account of how the Patrol operated and intervened in prehistory, then in history until the end of the twentieth century;
(ii) a narrative linking together what is known about the periods between the end of the twentieth century and the Danellian Era.

Kaor, Paul!
You are not asking for much! Even Tolkien, with his passion for history, real or fictional, might blanch at such a wish list! (Smiles)
We know Tolkien read some of Poul Anderson's stories--and jotted down comments about "The Valor of Cappen Varra," but I don't know if that included any of Anderson's Technic stories. But I hope so.

If you write them, I will read 'em... 8-).
Kaor, Mr. Stirling!
And some did! I mean the collection of Draka stories you authorized and allowed to be pub. in DRAKAS.
Anything I tried to write would be no where as good as either your stories or the ones in DRAKAS.
Ad astra! Sean
