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 Synopsis of History, Ancient and Modern: Giving a General View of the Political World, From the Rise of Ancient Monarchies, Down to the Present Age Could we but arrange the events of the great past in such a manner as to note, at a glance, not only the condition of one nation, but of all nations in their different periods, - the whole political world, as it were, we would supply a demand of the present age. Could we but name and place in their respective nations, Time's great men, and their achievements, and above all, if this knowledge could be imparted in a form that it would serve us instantly, at all times, we would meet the exigency of every intelligent reader or speaker. It is in view of these things that the author presents to the public this little volume - Synopsis of History. The book is designed as a reliable historical reference, for the inquirer, whatever his situation; at the fireside, in the school, class, or lecture room, in the literary association; - a key and guide for all lovers of history. There are at present many historical maps, charts, and chronological tables of history before the public; but these are large, inconvenient, and consequently of little immediate practical advantage. Besides, being merely a succession of topics and dates, the reading of course, soon becomes dry and monotonous. The Synopsis of History as the name indicates, presents parts so as to give a general view of the whole; and, though it is aimed to state these facts in a manner that will interest, yet the narrow columns are an apology for the absence of any attempt at rhetorical display.

Download or read book Heroes of History written by Will Durant and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2012-01-28 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of his own bestselling masterpieces The Story of Civilization and The Lessons of History, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Will Durant traces the lives and ideas of those who have helped to define civilization, from its dawn to the beginning of the modern world. Heroes of History is a book of life-enhancing wisdom and optimism, complete with Durant's wit, knowledge, and unique ability to explain events and ideas in simple, exciting terms. It is the lessons of our heritage passed on for the edification and benefit of future generations—a fitting legacy from America's most beloved historian and philosopher. Will Durant's popularity as America's favorite teacher of history and philosophy remains undiminished by time. His books are accessible to readers of every kind, and his unique ability to compress complicated ideas and events into a few pages without ever "talking down" to the reader, enhanced by his memorable wit and a razor-sharp judgment about men and their motives, made all of his books huge bestsellers. Heroes of History carries on this tradition of making scholarship and philosophy understandable to the general reader, and making them good reading, as well. At the dawn of a new millennium and the beginning of a new century, nothing could be more appropriate than this brilliant book that examines the meaning of human civilization and history and draws from the experience of the past the lessons we need to know to put the future into context and live in confidence, rather than fear and ignorance.
