Sinossi

The eleventh volume of "The World's Greatest Books" series, titled "Ancient and Medi√¶val History," serves as a profound exploration of civilizations that have shaped the world. Through a carefully curated selection of seminal works, this volume presents an intricate tapestry of narratives, political philosophies, and cultural commentaries from notable figures across antiquity and the Middle Ages. The literary style varies from epic poetry and historical chronicles to analytical essays, reflecting the evolving human thought across epochs. Contextually, it situates itself in a time when the study of history was not merely recounting events but a means to understand human nature and societal evolution, a theme central to many ancient philosophers and historians. The anthology features contributions from various eminent authors, whose perspectives have transcended time, conveying the intellectual ferment of their respective eras. By examining the cuisines of power, faith, and governance, these writers offer insights into the dynamics that have dictated human experience. Their backgrounds, often steeped in their own rich historical traditions, illuminate their narratives, shedding light on the factors that inspired their explorations of the past. For readers intrigued by the origins of contemporary society and the interconnectedness of historical narratives, this volume emerges as an indispensable reference. It not only serves as an academic resource for scholars but also provides the general reader with engaging perspectives on history's formative moments. Dive into this collective journey and discover the timeless wisdom embedded in the chronicles of ancient and medieval civilizations.

    The first book to examine the iconic depiction of evolution, the "march of progress," and its role in shaping our understanding of how humans evolved 
     
     
      
    We are all familiar with the "march of progress," the representation of evolution that depicts a series of apelike creatures becoming progressively taller and more erect before finally reaching the upright human form. Its emphasis on linear progress has had a decisive impact on public understanding of evolution, yet the image contradicts modern scientific conceptions of evolution as complex and branching. 
     
     
      
    This book is the first to examine the origins and history of this ubiquitous and hugely consequential illustration. In a story spanning more than a century, from Victorian Britain to America in the Space Age, Gowan Dawson traces the interconnected histories of the two most important versions of the image: the frontispiece to Thomas Henry Huxley's Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature (1863) and "The Road to Homo Sapiens," a fold-out illustration in the bestselling book Early Man (1965). Dawson explores how the recurring appearances of this image pointed to shifting scientific and public perspectives on human evolution, as well as indicated novel artistic approaches, and advancements in technology.

    India has been the location of many different empires throughout its long history. The Indus Valley Civilization was home to one of the world’s first civilizations more than 5,000 years ago, and despite India’s tradition of cultural and political pluralism, several rulers attempted to place the entire Sub-Continent under the rule of one dynasty or government with a dominant religion. Most of these would-be rulers were far from successful, although a few came close, setting the template for later conquerors. 
    The religion of Islam had entered India centuries earlier through merchants and missionaries, but, in the 10th century, warrior bands of Muslims began establishing themselves permanently in what is today Pakistan. From their permanent strongholds, these Muslim warriors of Turkish descent raided northern India, eventually capturing the city of Delhi and establishing what would become the Delhi Sultanate.  
    The Delhi Sultanate was comprised of five dynasties that expanded their borders, and Islam, at sword point, but also through diplomacy and trade. The Delhi Sultanate became known as a state that welcomed the expertise of foreigners, no matter their religion, and promoted the welfare of its citizens through a host of social programs. Eventually, the Delhi Sultanate grafted ideas and inspiration from India’s pre-Islamic past with those of Islam to create a state that was quite unique and powerful. 
    The Mughals, a group with Turkish and Mongolian roots, used gunpowder weapons to sweep into northern India, topple the existing Islamic dynasty in Delhi, and eventually subject most of India to their rule. The term “gunpowder empire” was originally coined by Russian scholar V. V. Bartold and popularized by American historians William McNeil and Marshall Hodgson in the mid-20th century to describe the Islamic Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires, which they claimed came to power through gunpowder.
