Download or read book Rethinking History Dictatorship and War written by Claus-Christian Szejnmann and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main focus of this book is to analyse and explain, rather than merely narrate, developments of modern war. The volume will present up-to-date and genuinely original scholarship that has not been previously published. This collection deals with three of the most important themes of historical studies: the way history is or ought to be written, the nature of dictatorships, and the nature of wars. The primary focus is on modern Europe and two defining experiences in the first half of the twentieth century, namely the First and Second World Wars and totalitarian dictatorships. Both remain issues of intense debates and with ever widening ramifications. It provides a unique overview of the current state of research on three important themes that are of great interest to scholars, and students. Each essay and a substantial introduction summarises complex findings, approaching the topic from a variety of perspectives (19th and 20th century history; national and regional history; comparative history; cartography; and, biographical, intellectual, structural, social and military history) thus challenging traditional interpretations and methodologies, and addressing unresolved questions. The book brings together a mix of established and younger experts thinking critically about these major themes and writing accessible and stimulating pieces that challenge existing interpretations and suggest ways the subjects are changing. The contributors tackle big issues and dare to come up with bold explanations.

Download or read book French Inside Out written by Henriette Walter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive introduction, Henriette Walter provides the reader with a panoramic view of the development of the French language in the past, present and future. She takes the reader on a rapid and lively journey through the historical development of the language from its Latin origins to the present day. She goes on to set the language in its linguistic context by surveying its surviving and vanished dialects and regional variations of the language within France. Widening her focus, Walter examines French throughout the world, giving examples of the pronunciation and vocabulary of each region or nation. Finally she looks at French today: its structure, the effects of social change on the language, and its future in an increasingly English dominated world. This stimulating and entertaining account offers students of French a clear and accessible introduction to the language. The wealth of information it provides is reflected in the extensive bibliography, four indices and numerous world lists, maps and diagrams.

Download or read book Historical Atlases written by Walter Goffart and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today we can walk into any well-stocked bookstore or library and find an array of historical atlases. The first thorough review of the source material, Historical Atlases traces how these collections of "maps for history"—maps whose sole purpose was to illustrate some historical moment or scene—came into being. Beginning in the sixteenth century, and continuing down to the late nineteenth, Walter Goffart discusses milestones in the origins of historical atlases as well as individual maps illustrating historical events in alternating, paired chapters. He focuses on maps of the medieval period because the development of maps for history hinged particularly on portrayals of this segment of the postclassical, "modern" past. Goffart concludes the book with a detailed catalogue of more than 700 historical maps and atlases produced from 1570 to 1870. Historical Atlases will immediately take its place as the single most important reference on its subject. Historians of cartography, medievalists, and anyone seriously interested in the role of maps in portraying history will find it invaluable.
Download or read book Europe What s in a Name written by Peter H. Gommers and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe is a word that is almost daily on our lips. But how far do we have to go back in order to find the origins of its name? The first part of this beautifully illustrated book traces the geographical and mythological basis of Europe's name. Who came up with the idea to distinguish the world in continents with proper names? The search will bring the reader back to the early history of mankind. How did the ancient Egyptians see the world and populations around them? Where did the Hebrews get the idea to split the world in three? And what was the world-picture in ancient Greece, laid down in geographic treatises and fragments? Where did the name 'Europe' originate from? Could it be from a person, either mortal or divine? In ancient Greek literature the name 'Europa' appears quite frequently for Greek goddesses and Greek women. Strangely enough, the best known Europa myth concerns a Phoenician princess, loved by the Greek god Zeus. Many mythographs doubt the Asian descent of the Phoenician Europa. Is her real origin to be located on mainland Greece? How can the contradicting Greek myths be interpreted, and was the name universally accepted as the name for the continent? In the second part of this book, the author tells the amazing story of how the Arts have treated the Europa myths for almost three millennia. He shows the extraordinary influence of the personification of the geographic continent Europe on literature, music, sculpture, painting, tapestry and other applied arts. All this clearly demonstrates the vivid interest in Europe for the subject throughout the ages and illustrates, according to Karel van Miert in his Foreword, our common European culture.
