Sinossi
Excerpt from Ancient Civilization: A Textbook 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.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a unique approach to ancient history, focusing on the everyday lives of people rather than just the grand narratives of wars and rulers. It delves into the development of civilization, starting with prehistoric man and his earliest tools, and tracing the gradual emergence of complex societies through the domestication of plants and animals, the invention of pottery, and the development of language. The book explores how these early civilizations in the Tigris-Euphrates valley and along the Mediterranean coast laid the groundwork for the later empires of Greece and Rome, revealing how their ideas, social structures, and even everyday practices have left a lasting legacy on our world. The author's emphasis on the gradual, yet impactful, progress of humanity provides a refreshing perspective on the past, showcasing the interconnectedness of ancient and later civilizations and reminding us that the foundations of our modern world were built upon the ingenuity and perseverance of those who came before us.
