The Axial Age—a period of several centuries around the middle of the last millennium BCE—and its cultural innovations are the subject of this collection of essays by international contributors from the fields of sociology, philosophy, Chinese, Sanskrit and Indic studies, comparative religion, and others. Essays explore cultural transformations in Ancient Greece, Ancient Israel, Iran, India, and China as well as background developments in the core civilizations of the Ancient Near East. An introductory essay deals with the history of the debate on the Axial Age, the theoretical questions that have emerged from it, and the current state of the discussion. Of interest to comparative historians of cultures and religions and for historical sociologists interested in the comparative analysis of civilizations.

John Garner - The Company Town, Architecture and S ociety in the Early Industrial Age (1992).jpg

Built by industrialists whose early businesses contributed to the escalation of the Industrial Revolution, company towns flourished in countries that embraced capitalism and open-market trading. In many instances, the company town came to symbolize the wrecking of the environment, especially in places associated with extractive industries such as mining and lumber milling. Some resident industrialists, however, took a genuine interest in the welfare of their work forces, and in a number of instances hired architects to provide a model environment. Overtaken by time, these towns were either abandoned or caught up in suburban growth. The most thorough-going and only international assessment of the company town, this collection of essays by specialists and authorities of each region offers a balanced account of architectural and social history and provides a better understanding of the architectural and urban experiences of the early industrial age.

H. E. Winter - History of the Celts (2004).jpg

Named by the Greeks as Celts, the nomads who after the Ice Age set out from the steppes of Russia, and perhaps from as far a field as Persia, towards what is now Europe, could not possibly have known the impact they and their descendents would have on the world. This lavishly illustrated volume explains all, in fascinating detail. Starting as hunter-gatherers, they quickly established agricultural settlements wherever they went and by 3,000 BC had spread across the continent.
Spurning a written language in favor of the bardic tradition, there is no written account of early Celtic history and the author of this authoritative volume explains how in relatively modern times their culture and influence has been monitored by investigation of their burial habits.
By the time the Celts reached Britain they had been in touch with Mediterranean cultures and were sophisticated, as their bronze, silver and gold ware tells. They also fought with chariots, as Roman invaders learned to their cost. When converted to Christianity there was no end to their fervor and… read on to see what extent these migrants have influenced mainland Europe, the British Isles and, through Irish emigration in particular, America.

Jay Taylor - The Generalissimo, Chiang Kai-shek an d the Struggle for Modern China (2009).jpg

Starred Review. American historians tend to portray Chiang Kai-Shek (1887–-1975) as an inept dictator who mismanaged China until Mao Zedong expelled him in 1945 and he finished his life ruling Taiwan under the protection of the U.S. military. But this thick, heavily researched but lucid biography by Taylor, a research associate at Harvard's Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies, describes an impressive figure who left China a greater legacy than he has been given credit for. An ambitious officer, Chiang took power when Sun Yat-sen died in 1925. Attempting to unify a chaotic nation, he fought warlords and rival Communists and then spent nine even bloodier years fighting the Japanese. Those expecting the traditional account of how Chiang hoarded American military aid in preparation for a postwar showdown with the Communists will read instead of the massive losses his troops suffered fighting the Japanese while Mao husbanded his forces. Taylor does not conceal Chiang's brutality and diplomatic failures, but he is an admirer who makes a good case that Chiang governed an almost ungovernable country with reasonable skill and understood his enemies better than American advisers did. 41 b&w illus., 4 maps.

Alan Forrest, Peter H. Wilson - The Bee and the Ea gle, Napoleonic France and the End of the Holy Rom an Empire (2009).jpg

All History - Alan Forrest, Peter H. Wilson - The Bee and the Eagle...nic France and the End of the Holy Roman Empire 2009.jpg

The Bee and the Eagle brings together a team of international specialists to present original findings on six key themes of Empire: political cultures, war and military institutions, monarchy, nationalism and identity, and everyday experience. With a comparative approach, it begins in 1806 at the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, and its replacement by a French-sponsored new political order.

Product Description The year 2006 marked the bicentenary of two seminal events in German and French history: the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire that had encompassed much of Europe for over a millennium, and its replacement by a new, French-sponsored political order. The juxtaposition of the two empires in 1806 offers an ideal opportunity for a comparative approach to the transition towards modernity and the role of France and Germany in the construction of Europe. The rapidity of these changes suggests a major turning point, to some even the birth of modernity itself, as Napoleon, the inheritor of the dynamic, rationalising traditions of the French Revolution, triumphed over a socio-political order that had its roots in the early middle ages and claimed direct descent from the ancient Roman Empire. This volume indicates that the contrast is considerably more complex than is commonly assumed, and offers the first comparative treatment of the key themes of Empire, monarchy, political cultures, feudalism, war and military institutions, nationalism and identity, and everyday experience Review
'This collection does a fine job of conveying recent scholarly trends on Napoleonic France and the Napoleonic Empire as well as on the late Holy Roman Empire and its immediate successor states in German-speaking lands. Far more than just surveying or synthesizing, however, these essays mark important and original contributions to understanding the conception, practice and experience of empire in their respective areas. In both respects this volume should prove of interest to students of any and all of these fields, and should help stimulate future comparative studies across the Franco-German divide.

Robert K. G. Temple - The Genius of China, 3,000 Y ears of Science, Discovery, and Invention (1998).jpg

Undisputed masters of invention and discovery for 3,000 years, the ancient Chinese were the first to discover the solar wind and the circulation of the blood and even to isolate sex hormones. From the suspension bridge and the seismograph to deep drilling for natural gas, the iron plough, and the parachute, ancient China’s contributions in the fields of engineering, medicine, technology, mathematics, science, transportation, warfare, and music helped inspire the European agricultural and industrial revolutions.

Since its original publication, The Genius of China has won five literary awards in America and been translated into 43 languages. Its Chinese edition, The Spirit of Chinese Invention, was approved by the Chinese Ministry of Education for use in connection with the national secondary curriculum in China. Based on the immense, authoritative scholarship of the late Joseph Needham, the world’s foremost scholar of Chinese science, and including a foreword by him, this revised full-color illustrated edition brings to life the spirit and excitement of the unparalleled achievements of ancient China.

Gail Turley Houston - From Dickens to Dracula, Got hic, Economics, and Victorian Fiction (2005).jpg

Ranging from the panoramic novels of Dickens to the horror of Dracula, Gail Turley Houston examines the ways in which the language and imagery of economics, commerce and banking are transformed in Victorian Gothic fiction, and traces literary and uncanny elements in economic writings of the period. Houston shows how banking crises were often linked with ghosts or inexplicable non-human forces and financial panic was figured through Gothic or supernatural means. In Little Dorrit and Villette characters are literally haunted by money, while the unnameable intimations of Dracula and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde are represented alongside realist economic concerns. Houston pays particular attention to the term 'panic' as it moved between its double uses as a banking term and a defining emotion in sensational and Gothic fiction. This stimulating interdisciplinary book reveals that the worlds of Victorian economics and Gothic fiction, seemingly separate, actually complemented and enriched each other.
