Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Minotaur is one of the most famous monsters from Greek mythology. This ferocious creature, half-human and half-bull, lived in the Labyrinth. Built by master inventor Daedalus, the Labyrinth was a dark, gloomy maze of passageways that twisted and turned so much that it was impossible for him to ever find its way out. But if the monster was imprisoned, so were the innocent girls and boys who were placed inside the Labyrinth as food for the Minotaur. Once inside the Labyrinth, these youths could not escape. Inevitably, the Minotaur found them and ate them. Into this grisly hall of death comes a young hero named Theseus. He has vowed to kill the Minotaur, or die trying. But he has no weapons, he only has a ball of string! Will Theseus kill the Minotaur . . . or will he be its next victim? Find out what happened to Theseus and the Minotaur, and about their legacy.

Download or read book A Concise History of the World written by Merry Wiesner-Hanks and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-23 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of humankind as producers and reproducers from the Paleolithic to the present. Renowned social and cultural historian Merry Wiesner-Hanks brings a new perspective to world history by examining social and cultural developments across the globe, including families and kin groups, social and gender hierarchies, sexuality, race and ethnicity, labor, religion, consumption, and material culture. She examines how these structures and activities changed over time through local processes and interactions with other cultures, highlighting key developments that defined particular eras such as the growth of cities or the creation of a global trading network. Incorporating foragers, farmers and factory workers along with shamans, scribes and secretaries, the book widens and lengthens human history. It makes comparisons and generalizations, but also notes diversities and particularities, as it examines the social and cultural matters that are at the heart of big questions in world history today.
