Beschrijving The Johns Hopkins Symposia in Comparative History: Ariès, P: Western Attitudes toward Death - From Middle Ages

AriA]s traces Western man's attitudes toward mortality from the early medieval conception of death as the familiar collective destiny of the human race to the modern tendency, so pronounced in industrial societies, to hide death as if it were an embarrassing family secret. -- Newsweek

Why the Nineties Matter

Why the Nineties Matter offers an incisive yet broad-ranging history of America in that decade. Terry Anderson focuses on key trends that either began or gained steam then and which have had lasting effects until this day: the spread of right-wing extremism, transformations in class voting preferences and party realignment, the expansion of neoliberal economic policy, the emergence of social media, and US foreign policy choices in the Middle East.

Bloody Tuesday

This compelling work recovers a neglected episode in the Black community's long struggle for full citizenship when police and Klansmen stormed First African Baptist Church and brutalized over 600 unarmed protestors preparing to march for freedom.

Driven by the Monsoons

Barry Cunliffe tells the story of trade across the Indian Ocean using the evidence of archaeology and the tales of great travellers, showing how, across thousands of years, humans have been driven by need and the sheer desire to own exotic goods to create and maintain trade routes whatever the difficulties.
