A History of the Jews in the Modern World
Author: Howard M. Sachar
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307424367
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 936
Book Description
The distinguished historian of the Jewish people, Howard M. Sachar, gives us a comprehensive and enthralling chronicle of the achievements and traumas of the Jews over the last four hundred years. Tracking their fate from Western Europe’s age of mercantilism in the seventeenth century to the post-Soviet and post-imperialist Islamic upheavals of the twenty-first century, Sachar applies his renowned narrative skill to the central role of the Jews in many of the most impressive achievements of modern civilization: whether in the rise of economic capitalism or of political socialism; in the discoveries of theoretical physics or applied medicine; in “higher” literary criticism or mass communication and popular entertainment. As his account unfolds and moves from epoch to epoch, from continent to continent, from Europe to the Americas and the Middle East, Sachar evaluates communities that, until lately, have been underestimated in the perspective of Jewish and world history—among them, Jews of Sephardic provenance, of the Moslem regions, and of Africa. By the same token, Sachar applies a master’s hand in describing and deciphering the Jews’ unique exposure and functional usefulness to totalitarian movements—fascist, Nazi, and Stalinist. In the process, he shines an unsparing light on the often widely dissimilar behavior of separate European peoples, and on separate Jewish populations, during the Holocaust. A distillation of the author’s lifetime of scholarly research and teaching experience, A History of the Jews in the Modern World provides a source of unsurpassed intellectual richness for university students and educated laypersons alike.

Madmen of History, Sixth Edition
Author: Dr. Donald D. Hook
Publisher: eBookIt.com
ISBN: 1456623753
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Published both by major U.S. houses as well as independently by the author, this book has been reissued at least every ten years since its initial appearance in 1976 by Jonathan David Publishers, Middle Village, NY. Its success has been remarkable, so much so, in fact, that schools and libraries have repeatedly had to reorder after their copies were stolen by patrons, students, and teachers! It continues to seem relevant to readers during all those years because society and government are always saddled with the same types depicted in this book. Teachers have frequently used this book as a supplementary text in history courses. The text is fast-moving, at times conversational, and never packed with dry dates and treaties and other aspects of history books that often turn off young readers. This is the first appearance of Madmen of History as an ebook, and the second ebook by the author. Read it chapter by chapter--there is no absolute order required--but avoid reading it at bedtime because you may not sleep well!

Intimate Lives of the Ancient Greeks
Author: Stephanie L. Budin
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 0313385726
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
This informative and enjoyable book surveys many aspects of the personal and emotional lives and belief systems of the ancient Greeks, focusing on such issues as familial life, religious piety, and ethnic identity. This work explores various aspects of ancient Greek personal and emotional lives, beginning with their understandings of their own bodies, individual and personal relationships, and ending with their feelings about religion and the afterlife. It covers ancient Greek culture from the early Archaic period in the 8th century BCE through the Late Classical period in the 4th century BCE. Readers will be fascinated to learn what the Greeks thought about the gods, physical deformity, citizenship, nymphs, goats, hospitality, and sexual relations that would be considered incest by modern standards. The content of the book provides an intimate sense of what the ancient Greeks were actually like, connecting ancient experiences to present-day culture. The chapters span a wide range of topics, including the human body, family and societal relationships, city life, the world as they knew it, and religious belief. The author draws extensively on primary sources to allow the reader to "hear" the Greeks speak for themselves and presents evidence from literature, art, and architecture in order to depict the ancient Greeks as living, breathing, thinking, and feeling people.

Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
NOW A MAJOR BBC DRAMA In July 2017, Chloe Ayling, a 20-year-old model from South London, was drugged and kidnapped in Milan, Italy. She was there for a photo shoot, but ended up abducted, bundled into the boot of a car and driven to a remote farmhouse where she was held captive for six days. She was told she was being auctioned on the Dark Web as a sex slave, and that if she tried to escape, she'd be killed instantly by agents of the Black Death gang. Chloe was eventually set free by twisted fantasist Lukasz Herba, and her story became a tabloid obsession and a national conversation. On being freed, Chloe's version of events - along with some of the stranger circumstances of her kidnapping - drove the press into a frenzy.

One year on, her kidnapper, Lukasz Herba, has been found guilty and sentenced to sixteen years and nine months in jail, and Chloe is finally vindicated and able to tell the full story of her terrifying ordeal.
