The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome
Author: Susan Wise BauerPublisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393070891
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 897
Book Description
A lively and engaging narrative history showing the common threads in the cultures that gave birth to our own. This is the first volume in a bold series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. Dozens of maps provide a clear geography of great events, while timelines give the reader an ongoing sense of the passage of years and cultural interconnection. This old-fashioned narrative history employs the methods of “history from beneath”—literature, epic traditions, private letters and accounts—to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled. The result is an engrossing tapestry of human behavior from which we may draw conclusions about the direction of world events and the causes behind them.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 119
Book Description
One of the greatest scholars and geniuses produced by Muslim Spain – indeed, the whole Islamic world – was Imam Ibn Hazm (May Allah have mercy upon him). He has huge and diverse literary works that makes him a Polymath. He was Faqeeh (jurist), Muhaddith (Hadith scholar), Mufassir (exegete of Quran), Adeeb (litterateur), theologian, thinker, psychologist, poet, historian, philosopher, politician and debator. He authored around 400 works in the cities of Islamic Spain like Cordoba, Jativa, Almeria, Majorca, Valencia, Seville and Niebla. A reader of his books will come to realize the smartness of Ibn Hazm and will be impressed by his intellectual voracity, deep knowledge in various sciences, razor-sharp critical analysis, eloquent language and originality of his research. In his outstanding work,“Ibn Hazm Khilal Alf Aam”, Abu Abdul Rahman bin Aqeel al-Zahiri listed the works, including published books and manuscripts, from the 5th century A.H. till 1400 A.H. – a span of a thousand years - which discuss Imam Ibn Hazm. In this book, I have written concisely about his life, ideas, contributions and I have addressed few issues which were wrongly ascribed to him.
