Sinopse

Plague History explores the profound ways infectious diseases have shaped human civilization. It delves into major pandemics like the Plague of Justinian, the Black Death, and the Spanish Flu, revealing their biological realities and their far-reaching impacts on society, culture, and scientific progress. For instance, the Black Death decimated Europe's population, leading to significant social and economic shifts. Understanding these historical outbreaks offers valuable insights into current global health challenges, bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and historical context for a general audience.

 
The book examines the fundamental concepts of epidemiology, microbiology, and historical analysis, making complex information accessible. Each plague is analyzed in detail, from its origins and spread to its symptoms and societal effects and how medical and governmental institutions responded, using primary documents, medical treatises, and archaeological findings. By examining these past pandemics, such as how ineffective some folk remedies were, Plague History demonstrates that infectious diseases are powerful agents of historical change that alter economic systems and cultural beliefs.

 
The book progresses chronologically, beginning with an introduction to infectious diseases and historical analysis before exploring each major plague. It concludes with a discussion of lessons learned and their relevance to contemporary global health, addressing ongoing debates about the origins and impact of these devastating outbreaks and offering a balanced perspective.

    Ancient Greek Astronomy and...

    For the ancient Greeks, the gods were capricious beings subject to the same passions, emotions, and vicissitudes as humans were, and no more enlightened as to the nature of existence and the path to a good and happy life. Given the fallibility of the gods in Greek mythology, some philosophers and scientists stepped in where religion refused to go. As early as the 6th century BCE Greek thinkers began to thoroughly explore the world and the actions of humans through natural science, reason, mathematics, metaphysics, and ontology. After Thales, a stream of philosophers, mathematicians, and engineers emerged, including names that are well known today, including Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Pythagoras, Archimedes, Heraclitus, Epicurus, and Diogenes. 
    For the ancient Babylonians and Egyptians, sky watching served religious or practical purposes, but for the Greeks, it was also theoretical. They wanted to know why heavenly bodies moved as they did, and for that reason, the Greeks added mathematics, geometry, and philosophical reasoning to the crucial foundational data of the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Egyptians. Over hundreds of years, various Greek innovators explored the underlying mechanics of the universe, leading to the first physical models of the cosmos. By the 5th century BCE, Pythagoras proposed that the world was not flat, but a sphere, Anaxagoras explained why eclipses happened and described meteorites, and Leucippus and Democritus wrote that tiny, invisible atoms were the building blocks of the entire universe. By the 3rd century BCE, Aristarchus of Samos taught that Earth rotated on its axis each day and revolved around the Sun each year. Eratosthenes used geometry to calculate the distance around Earth from pole to pole, and he came unbelievably close to precisely accurate measurements. Thanks to these scientific pioneers and their works, the Greeks laid the cornerstone of modern astronomy.

  • Demosthenes 354-324BCE - History's Greatest Orator - cover

    Demosthenes 354-324BCE -...

    Demosthenes, Dinarchus

    Demosthenes is generally acknowledged as the greatest orator in history. He overcame a stammer and the theft of his inheritance by his legal guardians to become as foundational to oratory as his contemporaries Plato and Aristotle are to philosophy. 
    Much like a major contemporary political figure, he overcame a stammer on his journey to greatness, with “inarticulate and stammering pronunciation.” He was known as “a water drinker”; a stern and serious presence at all times. 
    His great battle was against the waning of Athenian democracy, which slowly disintegrated into oligarchy and treason over his lifetime. As a legislator, ambassador, and leader he fought against the inexorable rise of Philip of Macedon and, later, Philip’s son Alexander. Fighting for the peace, democracy and equality that Athenian ancestors brought to all Greece, his tale ends in ruin as Athens finally falls, after more than thirty years trying to hold the line. 
     In historical terms, many of the patterns, descriptions and arguments presented here will seem eerily familiar, like listening to Songs In The Key Of Life for the first time. Every part of it has been reused a thousand times by people ever since its creation, so you are intimately familiar with the style, even if you have never come across it before. 
    After a prestigious career of public service, the tide turned against him. An accusation of bribery leads to his most famous speech, On The Crown. This defense of his career as the tides turned against him has been described as “the greatest speech of the greatest orator in the world.” 
    After his conviction, he escaped from prison and went on the run. He was exiled,  brought back, then sentenced to death; eventually, fleeing the city again, this time to the island of Kalaureia (modern-day Poros). Discovered by Archias, he asked for time to write a letter to his family, and took poison from a reed.
