Dimensions: 15 x 2.3 x 21.6 cm The barbarians who destroyed the glory that was Rome demolished civilization along with it, and for the next four centuries the peasants and artisans of Europe barely held on. Random violence, mass migration, disease, and starvation were the only way of life. This is the picture of the Dark Ages that most historians promote. But archaeology tells a different story. Peter S. Wells, one of the world's leading archaeologists, surveys the archaeological record to demonstrate that the Dark Ages were not dark at all. The kingdoms of Christendom that emerged starting in the ninth century sprang from a robust, previously little-known, European culture, albeit one that left behind few written texts. This recently… Read More

After seventy-five years and two world wars the continent may perhaps be rising again. But, as John Terraine points out, it has many adjustments to make. This is the theme of this 'television history', as the author calls it. It is com­plementary to a BBC television series of the same title, but it is not simply 'the book of the film'. Thus it takes its place beside other television histories - Alistair Cooke's America, Mark Arnold-Forster's The World at War, John Terraine's own Life and Times of Lord Mountbatten. In thirteen programmes the television series charts the troubled story of Europe from the days of… Read More

No ownership marks. 421 pages clean and tight. At the Dawn of Tyranny is an original and provocative work of popular anthropology that explores one of the central problems of human existence: the origins of political tyranny. Eli Sagan uses the accounts of such nineteenth-century explorers as Stanley, Speke and Cook to analyse three cultures that these men found: Buganda, Hawaiian, and the Tahitian. In these societies he found authoritarian monarchs, an aristocratic social structure, a complete legal system, a permanent army, bards and priests. Sagan looks fbr ways to understand how the confining circle of the primitive kinship system was broken so that the course of civilization as we know it could begin, and what price was paid for this advance. He links what happened in those early cultures to current… Read More
