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'.

Download or read book History of Ancient Civilization Classic Reprint written by Charles Seignobos and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Charles Seignobos, a French historian and Doctor of Letters of the University of Paris, originally released this book in France, titled "Histoire de la Civilisation." With the success and widespread use of his work in France, particularly in schools, it was thought that this would be a good resource for students in other countries, especially in the U.S. Thus, this English translation, aptly named "History of Ancient Civilization," came to be published in 1906. This 391-page, 27-chapter volume begins its exposition with prehistoric times and concisely discussed the four ages and ends with the later empire and the organization of the Church. The author managed to distill the important aspects of various periods in history, which adds to the academic appeal of this edition. Grade school and secondary level students will find this an easy read as the writing style is straightforward, using uncomplicated sentence structures and words. It also helps that the information the book contains is divided in short paragraphs with headings in bold letters. As such, it's easy for readers to search for certain passages. This shows that this is a work designed to be used as a reference material. Many of the titles published at the turn of the century did not make much use of the divisions that Professor Seignobos employed. Aside from students, those who are interested in history or want to revisit the origins of modern civilization as a recreational activity will enjoy reading "History of Ancient Civilization."

Gustave Ducoudray's "Histoire Sommaire De La Civilisation" The civilization of Greece, which was the outcome of indi vidual thought, whether embodied in literature, art, or life, the civilization of Rome, which was the outcome of corporate action, whether embodied in conquest, organization, or ad ministration, are most fully understood in their influence on the development of mankind when viewed side by side with the earlier civilizations of the East.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of Civilization It may not be amiss to tell how I came to write this little book. Works so much more scholarly appearing from time to time on one or another branch of the theme here dis cussed, some persons may be disposed to te gard my venture as superfluous, if not pre sumptuous. But, the fact is, I have sought in vain for a work even professing to' cover just the field which it has been my aim to prepare for the use of the reader. In trying to give my his tory classes some idea of the state of human ity before the dawn of history, I have found myself compelled to draw one set of facts from the geologists and archaeologists, an other from the students of myths and folk lore, another from the special students of language and race, and another from the very negations of the antagonists of each or all of these classes of scientific workers.

Download or read book Ancient Civilization written by Roscoe Lewis Ashley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Civilization: A d104book for Secondary Schools A great deal more attention is being given to social his tory and the life of the people of the past than was formerly the case. A great deal less is being given, except by classi cal students, to the history of Greece and Rome. This book aims to meet the need of schools that desire a short ancient history text, to the time of Charlemagne, which shall not be chiefly a narrative of events. It deals primarily with human progress. It devotes especial attention to great movements, to important leaders, to the life of the people and to the civilization of different periods. Although it is not always easy to trace the records of the dim silent masses, this social history seems, to be worth more than the annals of courts or of conquerors. As far as possible, the author has tried to keep in mind three things: (1) the importance of any change as a part of the development of ancient civilization; (2) the connection between these changes and modern life; and (3) the interest and capacity of the student in the high school. He has tried to give a correct impression of events and changes rather than to describe them with literal accuracy, as literal accuracy is impossible in so brief an account. Even if it were not im possible, it would be undesirable, for an exact, detailed ao count would render obscure the character and the meaning of the movement under consideration. Brief and general as is this survey of a very broad field, the author hopes that he may have made the subject interesting as well as intelligible.

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.

Download or read book The Civilization of Ancient Mexico Classic Reprint written by Lewis Spence and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Civilization of Ancient Mexico Since the time of Prescott no attempt appears to have been made to collate and present within reasonable compass for popular consumption the vast amount of matter, ancient and modern, relating to the history of the Mexican people. The author does not claim to have done this. Others have attempted it, but have usually presented it with their considerations upon other American civilizations. The purpose of this book is to provide not only a merely popular history of Ancient Mexico, but such a sketch of the subject as will appeal to serious students who may Wish to adopt the study of Mexican antiquities. In its scope nothing has been included which is not strictly verifiable from original sources. Speculation has not been altogether abandoned, but has been omitted except in those instances where reasons of special import called for it. At the same time whilst doubtful matter has been almost ruth lessly eliminated, such traditions as appeared to possess any substratum of fact and value from their bearing upon Mexican history, have not been altogether ignored, but have been included in the chapter upon the history of the Nahuan peoples, care being taken to draw particular attention to their legendary origin.
