The book takes the form of a narrative, which situates Sasanian Iran as a continental power between Rome and the world of the steppe nomad. číst celé
"Human history is largely a record of failure. Economic strife, inflation, military overstretch, foreign warfare, domestic unrest, famine, and disease have always conspired against us and usually defeated us. More often than not, we have to struggle through hard times, enduring a substantial reduction in living standards and state capacity, or the total collapse of institutions. At the end of the twentieth century, people scoffed at such ideas. In the 1990s, nothing seemed quite so absurd as collapse —unless, of course, you were living in China, where collapse was widely feared, or in Russia, Rwanda, and the former Yugoslavia where it actually happened. Yet, even so, the threat of world war and nuclear annihilation suddenly seemed remote after the end of the Cold War, and advanced thinkers announced a new era of steady progress everywhere. The less less-terrifying prospect of decline seemed simply implausible. The purpose of this book is threefold: to explain what makes civilization what it is,; to show what we are in danger of losing in the event of collapse, and to point the way toward renewal."-- Provided by publisher
The torturous route that had to be followed in changing from a theological to an educational career. The trauma both for my parents and the local church. Lessons learned in my first headship of a school in a war situation. The quandary was always what it really meant to have lived a successful life. That was a question with which I was confronted throughout my career. Political developments in my homeland demanded that I find a fresh outlet for my energies. Our family immigrated to Australia, where I needed to begin my career again more or less from scratch. An opportunity soon presented itself, however, to become the founder headmaster of a new school in New South Wales, a position of which I had often dreamed. Never believed that it would become a reality. That school can now hold its head up high in educational circles. The book describes the many challenges faced and the decisions taken in endeavouring to make education worthwhile for every member of the schools of which I was a member.
