The Darkening Age
Author: Catherine Nixey
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0544800931
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book, winner of the Jerwood Award from the Royal Society of Literature, a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, and named a Book of the Year by the Telegraph, Spectator, Observer, and BBC History Magazine, this bold new history of the rise of Christianity shows how its radical followers helped to annihilate Greek and Roman civilizations. The Darkening Age is the largely unknown story of how a militant religion deliberately attacked and suppressed the teachings of the Classical world, ushering in centuries of unquestioning adherence to "one true faith." Despite the long-held notion that the early Christians were meek and mild, going to their martyrs' deaths singing hymns of love and praise, the truth, as Catherine Nixey reveals, is very different. Far from being meek and mild, they were violent, ruthless, and fundamentally intolerant. Unlike the polytheistic world, in which the addition of one new religion made no fundamental difference to the old ones, this new ideology stated not only that it was the way, the truth, and the light but that, by extension, every single other way was wrong and had to be destroyed. From the first century to the sixth, those who didn't fall into step with its beliefs were pursued in every possible way: social, legal, financial, and physical. Their altars were upturned and their temples demolished, their statues hacked to pieces, and their priests killed. It was an annihilation. Authoritative, vividly written, and utterly compelling, this is a remarkable debut from a brilliant young historian.

Histories of Archaeology
Author: Tim Murray
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191563943
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 496
Book Description
In recent years there has been an upsurge of interest in the history of the discipline of archaeology. Local, national, and international histories of archaeology that deal with institutions, concepts, categories, and the social and political contexts of archaeological practice have begun to influence the development of archaeological theory. This volume contributes to these developments by reprinting 19 significant papers. Spanning much of the last 200 years and global in coverage and outlook, the papers provide a thorough grounding in the historiography of archaeology, and will enhance understanding of the origins and growth of its theory and practice. A general introduction which is itself a contribution to historiography orients readers by outlining core themes and issues in the field.

The Antiquity of Man
Author: Michael Brass
Publisher: Publish America
ISBN: 9781591293859
Category : Anthropology
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Palaeoanthropology and archaeology are fascinating, vibrant, and multi-disciplinary areas of research encompassing everything from isotopic laboratory work to down-and-dirty hands-on excavation. The discipline has grown tremendously since the time of Darwin and continues to yield new important revelations with each passing year. Recently a new variant of creationism has arisen to challenge evolution: Hindu creationism, as advanced by its most prominent proponents Michael Cremo and Richard Thompson. The Antiquity of Man explores the basic tenets that run through all fundamentalist writings. It is the only published work to provide an in-depth critique of Cremo and Thompson's work, and to examine creationism from the perspective of palaeoanthropology and archaeology: the application of genetics, our relationship with archaic hominins and chimpanzees, and the origins of modern human behavior.

Ethnology
Author: A. H. Keane
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107648130
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 475
Book Description
The Cambridge Geographical Series originated in the late nineteenth century as a means of providing introductory guides to a broad variety of topics. In this volume, which was first published in 1896, the focus is on theories of ethnology and race as they existed at the time of publication. Whilst many of the concepts put forward will seem outdated to the modern reader, this remains a fascinating document of its period. It will be of particular value to anyone with an interest in the colonial mindset, the history of racial categorisation, or early developments in anthropology and ethnology.
