{"product_id":"hist-west-educ-james-bowen-9780415848190","title":"Hist West Educ: Ancient World V 1","description":"Volume One of three, this is a reprint of James Bowen's A History of Western Education originally published by Methuen in the 1970s. Volume One covers The Ancient World: Orient and Mediterranean 2000B.C - A.D. 1054. The volume traces the development of education in the ancient world from the first scribal cultures of Mesopotamia and Egypt to learning in the early Christian church. A detailed account is given of the achievements of Greece in literacy, learning, philosophy and training for public life - achievements which were further developed in the Hellenistic Orient and incorporated by the Romans into their own highly organized educational system. This leads to the emergence of a specifically Christian ideal of education, the decline of secular learning in the West, and the preservation of learning both in Byzantium and in Western monasticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Bowen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415848199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415848190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"James Bowen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48112900440319,"sku":"9780415848190","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1ce59957-5ab9-47d1-adb6-ec7e41e54e7f.jpg?v=1769611701","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hist-west-educ-james-bowen-9780415848190","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
