{"product_id":"a-humanitarian-past-adele-znggzord-9781496993328","title":"A Humanitarian Past: Antiquity's Impact on Present Social Conditions","description":"This book opens a window on our historical past. We find antiquity has drawn a blind over earlier and more humanitarian cultures, writing off their artistic and egalitarian practices - while antiquity's social habits escalated stress. Psychologists have recently made us aware that stress has very negative results for community life. Simultaneously, archaeologists have uncovered information about Neolithic cultures and art that makes no sense seen beside ancient Greek descriptions. The more we learn about Old Europe, the more staggering and distorted the policies conveyed in ancient Greek myths, dramas, and epic poems become. Surprisingly, the Achaeans also show an intimate knowledge about their predecessor's social values. Sadly, the Renaissance uncritically fell for the ancient Greek's version of history, seeing it as the cradle of civilisation and our cultural heritage. They have even passed on these ideas to us today. Discovering A Humanitarian Past pitches us into an exciting and previously unexplored part of the human story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adele Änggård\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496993322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496993328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.25w x 0.65d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2015 pg. 134","brand":"Adele Änggård","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439449125119,"sku":"9781496993328","price":27.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b35fbdd8-6ae5-4b40-b757-9ceecb0c3100.jpg?v=1777177696","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-humanitarian-past-adele-znggzord-9781496993328","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
