Sinossi

Education in Ancient Times explores how early societies educated their youth, focusing on oral traditions, apprenticeships, and philosophical teachings. Understanding ancient education is crucial because it laid the groundwork for modern systems and offers insights into humanity's enduring pursuit of knowledge. The book argues that education in antiquity wasn't a uniform concept but rather a diverse set of practices deeply rooted in each civilization’s social fabric.

 
Interestingly, myths and legends served as vehicles for transmitting history and ethics, while apprenticeship systems enabled the acquisition of specialized skills. The book progresses by first examining oral traditions in pre-literate societies and then transitioning to apprenticeship systems. Finally, it investigates the rise of philosophical schools in ancient Greece and Rome.

 
By delving into these diverse methods, the book highlights the social values, power dynamics, and cultural priorities of these civilizations. It offers a valuable resource for those interested in the history of education and the development of human civilization, bridging the gap between classical studies and contemporary educational thought.

Addiction - A Very Short...

Keith Humphreys

Addiction is a subject which straddles public and personal interests; societal and criminal justice concerns; and family, social, and medical responses. It is a continuing area of uncertainty and concern for society and professionals trained in the field. 
 
 
 
This Very Short Introduction presents the basic facts about addiction: what it is, how and why it develops, how it is treated, and how society can respond to it. Addictions to both illicit drugs and licit drugs (e.g., alcohol) are covered, as is the possibility that certain behaviors not involving drug use (e.g., compulsive gambling) can qualify as addictions. Keith Humphreys provides a jargon-free account of our present understanding of addiction, from treatment evaluations to studies on the effects of public policies. He also illuminates the personal experience of addiction and recovery. Humphreys considers why some people become addicted and others do not, what treatments exist to help people who are addicted, and how the laws and regulations society establishes about drugs affects the rate and experience of addiction.
