History of European Morals From Augustus to Charlemagne (Vol 1&2) - Complete Edition

William Edward Hartpole Lecky

Sinopse

In 'History of European Morals From Augustus to Charlemagne,' William Edward Hartpole Lecky meticulously examines the evolution of moral philosophy and social ethics from the Roman Empire through the early Middle Ages. Employing a narrative style that intertwines historical analysis with philosophical inquiry, Lecky elucidates how cultural and religious shifts shaped moral thought during this pivotal era. His work is situated within the broader context of 19th-century historiography, where the interplay of social and moral progress was a burgeoning area of interest, establishing a framework that still informs contemporary moral discourse. Lecky, an eminent Irish historian and philosopher, was driven by a commitment to understand the foundations of modern morality in the light of historical developments. His scholarship reflects the influences of Enlightenment thinking and his own experiences in a rapidly changing Victorian society, which fostered his desire to explore the past's impact on present ethical conditions. Through keen observation and dedicated research, Lecky provides readers with profound insights into the complexities of moral evolution. This comprehensive exploration is highly recommended for anyone interested in the intersections of history, philosophy, and ethics. Lecky's work not only illuminates the past but also invites contemporary readers to reflect on how historical morals continue to resonate in modern moral dilemmas. Engaging with Lecky's seminal text offers invaluable perspectives that are as pertinent today as they were in his time.

Women in the Valley of the Kings...

Kathleen Sheppard

The history of Egyptology is often told as yet one more grand narrative of powerful men striving to seize the day and the precious artifacts for their competing homelands. But that is only half of the story. During the Golden Age of Exploration, there were women working and exploring before Howard Carter discovered the tomb of King Tut. Before men even conceived of claiming the story for themselves, women were working in Egypt to lay the groundwork for all future exploration. 
 
 
 
In Women in the Valley of the Kings: The Untold Story of Women Egyptologists in the Gilded Age, Kathleen Sheppard brings the untold stories of these women back into this narrative. Sheppard begins with the earliest European women who ventured to Egypt as travelers: Amelia Edwards, Jenny Lane, and Marianne Brocklehurst. Their travelogues, diaries, and maps chronicled a new world for the curious. In the vast desert, Maggie Benson, the first woman granted permission to excavate in Egypt, met Nettie Gourlay, the woman who became her lifelong companion. They battled issues of oppression and exclusion and, ultimately, are credited with excavating the Temple of Mut. 
 
 
 
Women in the Valley of the Kings upends the grand male narrative of Egyptian exploration and shows how a group of courageous women charted unknown territory and changed the field of Egyptology forever.

Ernest Herndon, Patrick Parker

Mississippi rivers and creeks have shaped every aspect of the state's geology, ecology, economy, settlement, and politics.

The rivers provide structure for the telling of stories. In Paddleways of Mississippi: Rivers and People of the Magnolia State, listeners will discover flowing details of virtually every waterway in the state—the features, wildlife, vegetation, geology, hydrology, and specific challenges to be expected—alongside many wonderful historical and social accounts specific to each system. 
 
 
 
Interviews and oral histories enliven these waterways with evocative scenery, engaging anecdotes, interesting historical tales, and personal accounts of the people and communities that arose along the waterways of Mississippi. Part natural history, part narrative nonfiction, Paddleways of Mississippi will appeal to outdoor enthusiasts, anglers, naturalists, campers, and historians, and is suitable for novices as well as experts.
