Download or read book A Little History of the United States written by James West Davidson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did a land and people of such immense diversity come together under a banner of freedom and equality to form one of the most remarkable nations in the world? Everyone from young adults to grandparents will be fascinated by the answers uncovered in James West Davidson’s vividly told A Little History of the United States. In 300 fast-moving pages, Davidson guides his readers through 500 years, from the first contact between the two halves of the world to the rise of America as a superpower in an era of atomic perils and diminishing resources. In short, vivid chapters the book brings to life hundreds of individuals whose stories are part of the larger American story. Pilgrim William Bradford stumbles into an Indian deer trap on his first day in America; Harriet Tubman lets loose a pair of chickens to divert attention from escaping slaves; the toddler Andrew Carnegie, later an ambitious industrial magnate, gobbles his oatmeal with a spoon in each hand. Such stories are riveting in themselves, but they also spark larger questions to ponder about freedom, equality, and unity in the context of a nation that is, and always has been, remarkably divided and diverse.
Download or read book Breve hist ria do mundo written by John Morris Roberts and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este é o primeiro de quatro volumes que integram uma obra que constitui uma grande síntese da história da humanidade. Compreende todas as épocas e todos os continentes, evitando o pormenor e dando primazia aos grandes processos históricos, à sua escala relativa e à sua interligação. Numa perspectiva que dispensa igual atenção aos actos daqueles que detêm o poder e às experiências anónimas do homem comum, esta obra é extraordinariamente precisa em relação aos factos sem deixar de ser interessante e erudita, estimulante e absorvente. Deste tomo inicial constam as origens, as primeiras civilizações e o Mediterrâneo Clássico, e também uma série de mapas especialmente concebidos, com a qualidade de um atlas. O autor, J.M. Roberts, foi professor em várias universidades de renome em Inglaterra e nos E.U.A. É autor de uma consagrada biografia e ainda de uma série televisiva transmitida na BBC2 - 'The Triumph of the West', da qual foi também apresentador.

Download or read book A Short History of the World written by Geoffrey Blainey and published by Ivan R. Dee. This book was released on 2003-03-08 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A superb history of the world's people during the last four million years, beginning before the human race moved out of Africa to explore and settle the other continents. Mr. Blainey explores the development of technology and skills, the rise of major religions, and the role of geography, considering both the larger patterns and the individual nature of history. A delightful read, gracefully written, and full of odd and interesting pieces of information as well as thoughtful comparisons that span both time and space. —William L. O'Neill

Book excerpt: De forma abrangente mas detalhista, Michael Cook conduz o leitor em uma fascinante viagem por dez mil anos de história. Assim, aborda desde o surgimento da civilização até a globalização no mundo contemporâneo, passando por todos os continentes e suas fases de evolução cultural, e examina a fundo costumes e tradições específicos. O livro toma como ponto de partida a perturbadora questão - poderia a história humana ter se desenvolvido de modo radicalmente diferente? Combinando diversos campos do saber - paleontologia, geologia e lingüística histórica, por exemplo -, o autor investiga o que levou o homem a adotar certas formas de organização e não outras. E aponta a agricultura como chave para a virada da humanidade em direção à civilização.

Book excerpt: A raíz del éxito mundial de A short history of the world (Breve historia del mundo), el eminente historiador Geoffrey Blainey ha resumido su compendio de la gran aventura humana para crear una versión más accesible aún de su absorbente obra. Con ello nos ha regalado un manual de historia universal que se convertirá en libro de cabecera y texto obligado en todas las bibliotecas. Esta Brevísima historia del mundo reconstruye la vida de las poblaciones que han habitado el planeta durante los últimos cuatro millones de años, desde antes de que la especie humana saliera de África para explorar y colonizar otros continentes. Es la epopeya de un mundo habitado que empieza por disgregarse, permanece dividido durante milenios y acaba por unificarse, ya en los últimos siglos. Narrador consumado, el profesor Blainey hace revivir el pasado describiendo tanto lo grandioso como lo vulgar: las modificaciones de las costumbres alimenticias, el trabajo cotidiano, las prácticas deportivas, los cambios de actitud ante el cielo nocturno, los descubrimientos con consecuencias, la historia de los grandes imperios...

Download or read book Breve hist ria do mundo written by Ernst H. Gombrich and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A história da humanidade contada em trezentas páginas - por mais audacioso que possa parecer, este foi o desafio que Ernst Gombrich fez a si mesmo. Escolheu falar diretamente ao leitor, como um irmão mais velho falando ao caçula, mas considerando que este é capaz de refletir por si mesmo e recusando, assim, oferecer explicações tidas como simplistas. Busca apresentar os personagens históricos considerados como emblemáticos de seu tempo e conta os fatos num desenrolar contínuo, como se não parasse de falar, buscando imprimir à narrativa o senso da proximidade e da simultaneidade dos acontecimentos. Edição ilustrada por Kat Menschik.

Download or read book WORLD CITIZENSHIP written by ALLÍVIA ROUSE C. RABBANI and published by PEDRO ARTURO ROJAS ARENAS . This book was released on 2023-11-09 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people often use to say that in life we have few privileges. However, most of them fail to measure the greatness of simple, or apparently simple, things like seeing, reading, feeding ourselves, being able to access health services, education, justice, freedom. That simple word contains what, in my opinion, is the greatest wealth we can possess. Freedom to move, think and express ourselves, love and choose who we love. Even destroy or destroy us. This book has made me think about the exercise of freedom, about the way in which the world acts and how we act in it, almost without awareness of what we do, about the way in which we are free to associate, relate and therefore, Freedom forces us (paradoxically) to exercise it within the limits of rationality and responsibility with ourselves and with the planet we inhabit. After all, we have nowhere else to go. What need do we have to establish boundaries, to separate ourselves more each day from the other? Have we ever stopped to think about what the world would be like if we were aware that we could be one, although diverse? This book, like almost never before, has brought me to that point. Dreams, the place of freedom par excellence, can come true if we fight for them with determination. World Citizenship is a possible dream. The articles - chapters that make up this book guide us towards the awakening of individual and collective conscience which, ultimately, is what is desirable, so that we can be citizens of the world, a phrase that has been heard or read many times, but not has been sufficiently well presented or considered. This is a happy exception. The social, economic, cultural, ethnic, and political aspects are addressed clearly, with a language and style that makes it easy to be read and understood. This is not intended to be a book of dogma, but rather a proposal to begin the path towards a better future, built by everyone, compiling the contributions of different visions but that focuses on the Human Being, in our home. Planet Earth. Great progress has already been seen in regional and even international, intercultural, political and economic agreements, which are good, but not so good in terms of the production, distribution, sale and purchase of weapons, substances that, in some parts, are members of the cultural acquis and in others they are considered illegal. These phenomena could well be explained from the perspective of Habermas, Bauman, and others, even at the risk of falling into simplism and/or deterministic reductionism. We are all one, respect for otherness is the key for freedom to be established and thus, the “Global Village” can overcome the crises in which it is immersed, many times due to failures in communication and absence of empathy; the pretension of wanting to impose ideas on others, to dominate through force and not with the force of reason. This is the origin of many unnecessary conflicts. This text is not about proposing a unified vision of Orwell and Huxley, but rather about understanding that we can be united in diversity, as the Baha'i principles clearly state, to cite a current of thought. It is in the communication where we have the best tool to forge a global society, where we can agree on the common goals of the survival and preservation of our habitat, with all that this implies. We have used it efficiently and we have succeeded. Or we have almost achieved it. The creation of blocs such as the European Community, Mercosur, the Arab League, and others, has made it possible to bring together communities similar in thought and interests and thus become stronger to negotiate, assert their rights and defend themselves against possible attacks. However, will it be possible that all groupings can ever be governed by a global control body? Any reader who approaches the text will soon find themselves reflecting on themselves and what they can contribute to improve from within and towards the environment, analyzing concepts such as Globalization and Worlding. It is like a ticket to the world of self- and collective consciousness, allowing you to finally answer whether global citizenship is a possible dream and, if you believe so, set yourself the task of making it a reality. This book does not pretend to be the last word on the issues raised, but it does show us a possible roadmap and, as a conscious reader, I feel obliged to reflect on what I have read, what I have learned, what I can put into practice to make the world a better place, if not already for me, for generations to come.
