Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies

When we consider the advantages that Spaniards derived from horses, steel weapons, and armor against foot soldiers without metal, it should no longer surprise us that Spaniards consistently won battles against enormous odds. How did Atahuallpa come to be at Cajamarca? Atahuallpa and his army came to be at Cajamarca because they had just won decisive battles in a civil war that left the Incas divided and vulnerable. Pizarro quickly appreciated those divisions and exploited them. The reason for the civil war was that an epidemic of smallpox, spreading overland among South American Indians after its arrival with Spanish settlers in Panama and Colombia, had killed the Inca emperor Huayna Capac and most of his court around 1526, and then immediately killed his designated heir, Ninan Cuyuchi. Those deaths precipitated a contest for the throne between Atahuallpa and his half brother Huascar. If it had not been for the epidemic, the Spaniards would have faced a united empire. Atahuallpa's presence at Cajamarca thus highlights one of the key factors in world history: diseases transmitted to peoples lacking immunity by invading peoples with considerable immunity ...»

The War of the World: History's Age of Hatred
Instead, the 20th century proved to be overwhelmingly the most violent, frightening and brutalized in history with fanatical, often genocidal warfare engulfing most societies between the outbreak of the First World War and the end of the Cold War. What went wrong? How did we do this to ourselves?

A World History of Art
Sympathetically expanded by Michael Archer, who brings the story forward into the twenty-first century, this thumping slab of tome is without doubt the most compelling total history of art ever written' . This Revised Seventh Edition expands the original coverage by embracing new developments in archeology and art historical research, and in particular contemporary art historian Michael Archer has greatly expanded the authors discussion of the art world over the past two decades, providing a new perspective on the latest developments shaping our cultural history. But thanks to the breadth of their scholarship, the depth of their enthusiasm and the enviable freshness of their writing, Honor and Fleming triumphantly accomplish the herculean task they have set themselves. This quote from Andrew Graham Dixon describes the book: ' Spanning continents and millennia, ranging from man' s earliest cave paintings to the works of Picasso and beyond, this is a hugely ambitious book. Since its first publication this book has been hailed as the most up-to-date and wide-ranging history of art ever published in a single volume.

A History of the World In 10 1/2 Chapters
We journey to the Titanic, to the Amazon, to the raft of the Medusa, and to an ecclesiastical court in medieval France where a bizarre case is about to begin. . . This is no ordinary history, but something stranger, a challenge and a delight for the reader' s imagination. Ambitious yet accessible, witty and playfully serious, this is the work of a brilliant novelist. Noah disembarks from his ark but he and his Voyage are not forgotten: they are revisited in on other centuries and other climes - by a Victorian spinster mourning her father, by an American astronaut on an obsessive personal mission. Beginning with an unlikely stowaway' s account of life on board Noah' s Ark, "A History of the World in 10 Chapters" presents a surprising, subversive, fictional history of earth told from several kaleidoscopic perspectives.

An exploration of the Mandaeans of Iraq: their history, beliefs, community organization and the effects of the 21st Century Diaspora The Mandaeans of Iraq. The Hidden Peoples of the World:
Also known as Subbi, meaning baptizers, the Mandaeans have a complex set of beliefs about the world' s origins as well as the life that follows. With a passion for the obscure, Karen Baker has delved into the secret sect of the Mandaeans of Iraq, exploring the effects of the turmoil they are facing in their centuries-old homeland. The Iraqi Mandaeans are fleeing their native country, becoming refugees and watching their traditions and cultural practices vanish. This book evaluates the potential receptivity of Mandaeans to Christianity through several perspectives including an evaluation of Mandaeism’s relationship to the Gnosticism of the first through third centuries CE, as well as its syncretic adaptations to Judaism, Christianity and Islam. This book will be of interest to those interested in little-known cultures from a historical and religious perspective; those involved with refugees and immigrants; and those who desire to understand the foundational beliefs of Mandaeism. From the marshes of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in southern Iraq, members of a little-known, Gnostic sect are emerging in cities throughout the world.
