Book Synopsis Ancient Times a History of the Early World: an Introduction to the Study of Ancient History and the Career of Early Man by : James Breasted
Download or read book Ancient Times a History of the Early World: an Introduction to the Study of Ancient History and the Career of Early Man written by James Breasted and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-07 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the preface:"In the selection of subject matter as well as in style and diction, it has been the purpose of the author to make this book sufficiently simple to be put into the hands of first-year high-school pupils. A great deal of labor has been devoted to the mere task of clear and simple statement and arrangement. While simple enough for first-year high-school work, it nevertheless is planned to interest and stimulate all students of high-school age. In dealing with each civilization a sufficient framework of political organization and of historical events has been laid down; but the bulk of the space has been devoted to the life of man in all its manifestations-society, industry, commerce, religion, art, literature. These things are do presented as to make it clear how one age grows out of another, and how each civilization profits by that which has preceded it.The story of each great race or nation is thus clearly disengaged and presented in period after period; but, nevertheless, the book purposes to present the career of man as a whole, in a connected story of expanding life and civilization from the days of the rudest stone hatchet to the Christian cathedrals of Europe, without a serious gap. A symmetrical presentation of the career of man requires adequate space for the origins of civilization and the history of the Orient, as these two subjects have been revealed by the excavations and discoveries of the last two generations, especially the last twenty-five years. The reasons for devoting more than the customary space to these subjects in this book may therefore be briefly noted.The length of the career of man discernible by us has been enormously increased at the present day by archaeological discovery, carrying back the development of human arts at least fifty, and perhaps two hundred thousand, years. Even a recorded in written documents, modern discovery in the Orient has placed behind the period of human history as formerly known to us another period equally long, thus doubling the length of the historic age. It cannot be said that all this vast new outlook has as yet been surveyed and briefly presented in a form intelligible to younger students as an imposing panorama of the expanding human career. The attainment of such a point of view of the career of man has been a slow process. The ancient history written by Sulpicius Severus, about 400 A.D., survived for over a thousand years, and became a respected textbook, which was in use as late as the sixteenth century. It dealt almost exclusively with the history of Rome. A mention of the battle of Marathon was its only reference to Greek history. The Roman colossus bulked so large that nothing earlier could be seen behind it."

Book excerpt: Part I of the 'New World Order' Series by Neil Pitts.An historical account of the fall of the Old World and rise of a new world-order. Describes how the closure of the land bridge between Siberia and Alaska at the end of the last ice-age had a major impact on civilization, creating a new world-order through a series of empires which lead to Persia, Greece and Rome. In chapters which correspond with each period, from pre-history, up to and including the rise of Christ. The way in which this book develops takes us through the whole of the ancient world, showing how it's whole history stems from the pre-fall period, which it is possible now to see, following developments in archaeology and radiocarbon dating in the twentieth century. Using quotations from deciphered ancient texts, and experts who have documented the different periods, it shows how empires were constructed according to the conditions which sprang up around them. It takes us comprehensively through the history of human society up to the time of Christ, and includes Christianity in an explanation of how the world entered the Middle Ages.Forthcoming Parts II and III explain how the Middle Ages worked and how it became the modern period, along with what human problems it is possible for governements to now solve, based on the fact that we have inherited social structures from the past.

Book Synopsis The World from 1000 BCE to 300 CE by : Stanley Mayer Burstein
Download or read book The World from 1000 BCE to 300 CE written by Stanley Mayer Burstein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first comprehensive history of Afro-Eurasia during the first millennium BCE and the beginning of the first millennium CE. The history of these 1300 plus years can be summed up in one word: connectivity. The growth in connectivity during this period was marked by increasing political, economic, and cultural interaction throughout the region, and the replacement of the numerous political and cultural entities by a handful of great empires at the end of the period. In the process, local cultural traditions were replaced by great traditions rooted in lingua francas and spread by formalized educational systems. This process began with the collapse of the Bronze Age empires in the east and west, widespread population movements, and almost chronic warfare throughout Afro-Eurasia, while the cavalry revolution transformed the nomads of the central Asian steppes into founders of tribal confederations assembled by charismatic leaders and covering huge territories. At the same time, new artistic and intellectual movements appeared, including the teachings of Socrates, Confucius, the Buddha, and Laozi. Increased literacy also allowed people from a wide range of social classes such as the Greek soldier Xenophon, the Indian Buddhist emperor Ashoka, the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, and elite women such as the poetess Sappho, the Christian martyr Perpetua, and the scholar Ban Zhao to create literary works. When the period ended in 300 CE, conditions had changed dramatically. Temperate Afro-Eurasia from the Atlantic to the Pacific was dominated by a handful of empires--Rome, Sassanid Persia, and Jin Empire-that ruled more than half the world's population, while an extensive network of trade routes bound them to Southeast and Central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa and made possible the spread of new book based religions including Christianity, Manichaeism, Zoroastrianism, and Buddhism, thereby setting the stage for the next millennium of Afro-Eurasian history.

Book Synopsis The History of Government from the Earliest Times: Ancient monarchies and empires by : Samuel Edward Finer
Download or read book The History of Government from the Earliest Times: Ancient monarchies and empires written by Samuel Edward Finer and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one has hitherto had the breadth of imagination and intellectual boldness to describe and analyse government throughout recorded history and throughout the world. This unique study of government is the culmination of the work of the late S. E. Finer, one of the leading political scientists of the twentieth century. Ranging over 5,000 years, from the Sumerian city state to the modern European nation state, five themes emerge: state-building, military formats, belief systems, social stratification, and timespan. The three volumes examine both representative and exceptional polities, and focus on political elites of different types. Ancient Monarchies and Empires opens with Finer's masterly Conceptual Prologue, setting out the entire scope and structure of The History . Books One and Two then consider early examples of the predominantly palace' type of polity, notably in respect of the Kingdoms of Egypt and the Empires of Assyria, Persia, Han China, and Rome; interspersed with consideration of the exceptional' Jewish Kingdoms and the Greek and Roman Republics.
