Beschreibung

In "The Kings of Israel and Judah," George Rawlinson meticulously charts the history of the ancient Israelite monarchs, intertwining political, social, and religious elements to illuminate the complexities of their reigns. Employing a narrative style that combines rigorous scholarship with accessible prose, Rawlinson draws from biblical texts, archaeological findings, and historical sources, placing these rulers within the broader context of Near Eastern history. His examination extends beyond mere chronology, delving into the cultural and theological implications of each king's rule, thereby offering readers a comprehensive understanding of the period's dynamics. George Rawlinson, a prominent 19th-century historian and a key figure in the study of ancient civilizations, was well-equipped to undertake this ambitious project. His background in classical scholarship, combined with his fascination for biblical history, propelled him to explore the intricacies of Israelite and Judean history, reflecting the Victorian era'Äôs burgeoning interest in biblical archaeology and history. His scholarly credentials are complemented by a contextual appreciation of how religion shaped governance in ancient Israel. Ideal for both historians and general readers, "The Kings of Israel and Judah" provides a captivating lens through which to understand a pivotal era in biblical history. Rawlinson's ability to synthesize narrative and analysis makes this work not just informative but essential for anyone interested in the historical foundations of Western civilization.

    A compelling and fascinating portrait of the continuing intellectual tradition of Greek writers and thinkers in the Age of Rome. 
     
    In 146 BC, Greece yielded to the military might of the Roman Republic; sixty years later, when Athens and other Greek city-states rebelled against Rome, the general Lucius Cornelius Sulla destroyed the city of Socrates and Plato, laying waste to the famous Academy where Aristotle had studied. However, the traditions of Greek cultural life would continue to flourish during the centuries of Roman rule that followed, in the lives and work of a distinguished array of philosophers, doctors, scientists, geographers, travellers and theologians. 
     
    Charles Freeman's accounts of such luminaries as the physician Galen, the geographer Ptolemy and the philosopher Plotinus are interwoven with contextual 'interludes' that showcase a sequence of unjustly neglected and richly influential lives. Like the author's The Awakening, The Children of Athena is a cultural history on an epic scale: the story of a rich and vibrant tradition of Greek intellectual inquiry across a period of more than five hundred years, from the second century BC to the start of the fifth century AD.

    NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is a military alliance formed in 1949 to provide collective defense against aggression, primarily focused on safeguarding the democratic values and security of its member nations. Over time, its role has expanded from traditional defense to addressing global security challenges, including the fight against terrorism and the stabilization of conflict zones. The War in Afghanistan became a key test for NATO's evolving mission, showcasing its capabilities in out-of-area operations far beyond the traditional borders of its members. 
    The decision to involve NATO in Afghanistan followed the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, which were planned and orchestrated by al-Qaeda, a terrorist group harbored by Afghanistan's Taliban regime. In response, NATO invoked Article 5 of its founding treaty for the first time in its history, declaring an attack on one member as an attack on all. The alliance's commitment to fighting terrorism led to the deployment of NATO forces in Afghanistan, initially through Operation Enduring Freedom, and later through the more expansive International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission. 
    NATO’s intervention was multi-faceted, aiming not only to eliminate terrorist threats but also to assist in rebuilding a war-torn nation. The alliance’s involvement extended beyond military operations, focusing on stabilizing Afghanistan by promoting security, governance, and economic development. This commitment was based on the understanding that military force alone would not bring lasting peace. NATO recognized that its mission required close collaboration with local Afghan forces, international organizations, and governments, all working together to achieve a stable and secure Afghanistan.
