Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History, if we define it as the mere transcription of the written records of former generations, can go no farther back than the time such records were first made, no farther than the art of writing. But now that we have come to recognize the great earth itself as a story-book, as a keeper of records buried one beneath the other, confused and half obliterated, yet not wholly beyond our comprehension, now the historian may fairly be allowed to speak of a far earlier day. For unmeasured and immeasurable centuries man lived on earth a creature so little removed from "the beasts that die," so little superior to them, that he has left no clearer record than they of his presence here. From the dry bones of an extinct mammoth or a plesiosaur, Cuvier reconstructed the entire animal and described its habits and its home. So, too, looking on an ancient, strange, scarce human skull, dug from the deeper strata beneath our feet, anatomists tell us that the owner was a man indeed, but one little better than an ape. A few æons later this creature leaves among his bones chipped flints that narrow to a point; and the archæologist, taking up the tale, explains that man has become tool-using, he has become intelligent beyond all the other animals of earth. Physically he is but a mite amid the beast monsters that surround him, but by value of his brain he conquers them. He has begun his career of mastery.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Universal History, Vol. 4 of 4: In Twenty-Four Books At the period when the peace of the Pyrenees put an end to the contest between France and Spain, (A.D. 1659, ) which was a kind of appendage to the thirty years war, Lewis the Fourteenth was in the twenty-first year of his age. Cardinal Mazarin was still at the head of government, and now administered it in peace: the last civil war, if the commotions of the Frondeurs are to be called by that name, having been extinguished, he was neither employed in pursuing any immediate schemes, nor in looking forward to any far-sighted plans of policy; but was performing the farce to the great tragedy which was going on in England. Lewis the Fourteenth was incited by ambition to the pursuit of a particular species of greatness, which he displayed in the course of fifty-four years, (A. D. 1661 - 1715) the period during which he reigned without a prime minister. This passion was the source of all the benefits that he conferred on the arts and sciences, as well as of his ruinous conquests; of the wars by which Europe was convulsed during so many years, and in the course of which the most solemn treaties were violated, and the most splendid exploits and the basest of crimes performed by his command.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Universal History, Vol. 4 of 6: From the Creation of the World to the Beginning of the Eighteenth Century We have remarked, that hitherto the Christian churches were entirely independent of each other. About the middle of the second century, the Greek churches began to unite into general associations the whole churches Of a province forming one body, and agreeing to be governed by general rules of discipline, which were concerted and framed by a council of the elders, or deputies from each particular church. These assemblies the Greeks termed Synods and the Latin churches, following the same example, termed these general meetings Concilia and the rules of discipline there enacted were called Canons. AS it was necessary for the maintenance of order in these assemblies, that some person Of authority should preside, the right of presiding was conferred, by an election of the several bishops, either upon some one of them selves possessing eminent virtue or abilities, or.

This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 1065 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume IV of The Cambridge History of War offers a definitive new account of war in the most destructive period in human history. Opening with the massive conflicts that erupted in the mid nineteenth century in the US, Asia and Europe, leading historians trace the global evolution of warfare through 'the age of mass', 'the age of machine' and 'the age of management'. They explore how industrialization and nationalism fostered vast armies whilst the emergence of mobile warfare and improved communications systems made possible the 'total warfare' of the two World Wars. With military conflict regionalized after 1945 they show how guerrilla and asymmetrical warfare highlighted the limits of the machine and mass as well as the importance of the media in winning 'hearts and minds'. This is a comprehensive guide to every facet of modern war from strategy and operations to its social, cultural, technological and political contexts and legacies.

Book excerpt: The fourth volume of The Cambridge History of America and the World examines the heights of American global power in the mid-twentieth century and how challenges from at home and abroad altered the United States and its role in the world.

Topics include US economic and military power, American culture overseas, human rights and humanitarianism, third-world internationalism, immigration, communications technology, and the Anthropocene.
