This is an excellent overview of Western history until the medieval history. There are a few efforts to show what was happeneing in China and China, but not very much. The maps and bibliographies at the ends of the chapters are very good. Readable. ( ) From the Paleolithic Age to the "decline" -- a word he wonderfully qualifies [709]-- of Rome. Specifically, from the pre-lower paleolithic australopithicenes of 5,000,000 BC and before, to the 3rd century AD. Have to question his interpretation of the rise of Christianity, claims of "repeated rebellion" in Spain [493, 508] during the Republic, the view of the Jewish Revolt (led by Bar Kochba, who is not mentioned in the text but is curiously referenced in the cover). Excellent presentation of Hebrew history, noting that "Only sporadically, however, does archeological material bear specifically upon passages in the Old Testament itself" [162], that codification into "this great book of Judaism" [160]. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
This volume offers an account of early world history from the rise of the first cities to the fall of the Roman Empire. Though Greece and Rome occupy center stage, the author also surveys the cities and empires of Mesopotamia, India from the early Indus civilization to the Gupta state, and China from the Hsia dynasty to the Han empire. He has revised his discussions of early humankind to account for the most recent findings; he presents a new view of the Jewish revolt against Rome led by Bar Kochba. In addition, his account of the end of the Roman Empire has been rewritten in light of the most recent thinking by classical historians. Numerous maps and illustrations, carefully composed and selected, highlight the text. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
