Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Times, a History of the Early World: An Introduction to the Study of Ancient History and the Career of Early Man Finally, when we recall that the leading religion of the world the one which still dominates Western civilization to-day came to us out of the Orient; when we further remember that before it fell the Roman Empire was completely orientalized, it would appear to be only fair to our schools to give them books furnish ing an adequate treatment of pre-greek civilization. This does not mean to question for a moment the undeniable supremacy of Greek culture, or to give it any less space than before. The author believes that no one who reads the chapters on Greece in this survey will gain the impression that Hellas has been sac rificed to Moloch in other words, to her oriental predecessors.

Book Synopsis Ancient History by : George Rawlinson
Download or read book Ancient History written by George Rawlinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World's Great Classics by George Rawlinson is an extensive volume on the history of the world. It covers the period of ancient history right up to the fall of the western empire. This particular text is the first part of a set of 61 books that provide one of the most in-depth analyses of the world's history and literature. It is one of the few books available that provide detailed information on entire ancient civilizations and cultures in one place. Rawlinson breaks up the historical periods in question into five different sections for easy access and quick reference. It starts with the history of ancient Asiatic and African states and moves on to the establishment of the Persian monarchy. The latter half of this work is devoted to the evolution of Greek, Macedonian and Roman empires. Rawlinson summarizes the history of Rome in World's Great Classics in the most fascinating manner with a well thought out structure dividing it into various periods for a clearer understanding of the reader. World's Great Classics is replete with an impressive set footnotes within the chapters. It is these snippets of information which fill in glaring gaps and provide context and scope for further research in this work. Written in sanguine language with a distinctive style, Rawlinson provides an authoritative undertone to this masterpiece. Whether for general readers wanting an excellent summary of ancient world history or students and scholars of the subject, World's Great Classics should be an integral part of any collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Early Peoples to 1500 A.

Book Synopsis The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome by : Susan Wise Bauer
Download or read book The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome written by Susan Wise Bauer and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2007-03-17 with total page 897 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively and engaging narrative history showing the common threads in the cultures that gave birth to our own. This is the first volume in a bold series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. Dozens of maps provide a clear geography of great events, while timelines give the reader an ongoing sense of the passage of years and cultural interconnection. This old-fashioned narrative history employs the methods of “history from beneath”—literature, epic traditions, private letters and accounts—to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled. The result is an engrossing tapestry of human behavior from which we may draw conclusions about the direction of world events and the causes behind them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Smaller Ancient History of the East: From the Earliest Times to the Conquest by Alexander the Great This is a book for the young, both in schools and families. It has a twofold purpose: to supply the learner with some informa tion respecting the Eastern Nations, with which he comes in contact while reading the histories of Greece and Rome: and to set before the general reader a brief account of the course of ancient civilization in its earliest seats. Besides this general purpose, the book is specially designed to aid the study of the Scriptures, by placing in their true historical relations those allusions to Egypt, Assyria, Babylonia, Phoenicia, and the Medo Persian Empire, which form the back-ground of the history of Israel from Abraham to Nehemiah. The present work is an indispensable adjunct of the Smaller Scripture History;' and the two have been written expressly to be used together.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Civilization an Introduction to Modern History Ask yourself as you begin reading this book what is the first thing in life that-you can remember. Probably the event hap pened not more than ten or twelve years ago. Your The sources father and mother cannot go back, in memory more than of our three or four times as many years as that; and practically knowledge no man or woman alive to - day can recall things that happened a hundred years ago. And yet, at the very beginning of this book, you must imagine that your memory extends ov'er thou sands and thousands of years, for the beginning of man's history belongs to a time as long ago as that. Our knowledge of the story of man's existence on earth has been gathered slowly. Here and there in all parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, a few bones of men and of animals, a few spearheads and arrowheads, a few fragments of clothing and cooking utensils have been found. From these, and from the rude pictures which men scratched on stones thousands of years ago, we have been able to piece together a record which carries back the story of man's life those thousands of years; We have learned something about his. Method of making himself shelter and clothing, something about the way he fought with the wild animals of the forest, something, about the way he gathered his food and fed and reared his children. We know the steps by which, from a condition like that'of a wild animal, he climbed up to the place which he occupies on earth to-day'.

Book Synopsis A Syllabus and Note Book for Ancient History (Classic Reprint) by : Robert D. Armstrong
Download or read book A Syllabus and Note Book for Ancient History (Classic Reprint) written by Robert D. Armstrong and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Syllabus and Note Book for Ancient History The fundamental problem of the student in history courses in the secondary school is how to study efficiently. The fundamental problem of every teacher of history in high schools is how to teach the student to study. One of the most favorable signs of the times in secondary education is the tendency to emphasize this phase, and to aid in its solution from the administrative standpoint by introducing various plans for supervised study. Unsupervised study is inefficient study. As to what form the supervision shall take, there is room for difference of opinion. Local conditions may make many ideal plans impossible under the circumstances. As to the need for supervising and controlling the study methods of the student, however, there is no room for difference of opinion. In the hope of assisting history teachers to solve this problem, this notebook has been prepared. It is the outcome of the authors own teaching experience, and the principles embodied in it have been successfully tested in practice. Six notebooks are planned in this series, some of them yet in preparation, each to furnish the basis for a semesters work. The plan of the course embodies the recent tendency to subordinate the Ancient and Mediaeval History and to greatly extend the time devoted to Modern and American History and Civics. The content of each semesters work is as follows: 1. Civilization and History of the Ancient World (to about 800 A.D.) 2. Civilization and Development of Mediaeval Europe (to about1648). 3.Modern European History to the close of the Napoleonic Wars, including American Colonial History. 4. The 19th Century in Europe. 5. American National History, 1783. 6.American Government and Civics. About 70 lessons are planned in each semesters work, each of which is intended to serve as the topic for one recitation. Each syllabus consists of an outline, and various other helps which are self-explanatory. The instructions on "How to Study" are the result of the authors experience with high school freshmen and sophomores during a supervised study period daily of 30 minutes. It is believed that the principles embodied in these instructions are sound, and that the students will find it helpful to follow them closely. The teacher should see that these methods are being used: The instructions are divided into the following sections: 1. How to study the textbook. 2. Reading in other books - source books and secondary works. 3. Notebook exercises - maps, themes, outlines. 4. Historical Fiction. 5. How we know about the past. The first section is an organized body of suggestions to the pupil for use in getting the content of the textbook, fixing it firmly in mind, and evaluating the importance of the different parts. The second section proceeds on the hypothesis that history teaching is only half done without intelligent use of sources other than the textbook, and that some training in the use of historical method can, and should, be practised from the earliest years of high school. The third section contains instructions to pupils how to go about doing notebook assignments Experience has shown the author that such detailed hints are necessary. The fourth section recognizes the the value and importance of reading good historical fiction, and includes a list of some novels adapted for the semester's reading. For the section on "How we know about the Past," the excuse is offered that a short and understandable account of the methods of historical research is needed in order that work with sources shall mean much to the student, and that such an account is not available elsewhere. It is the author's opinion that all these features are necessary to the best work in history. Local conditions may make some features impossible. In that case, the instructions o...
