Эта книга существенно отличается от всех прочих книг, посвященных вопросам и проблемам такого необычного занятия, как современное историческое кладоискательство. Ее автор, известный прозаик А.Г.Косарев, постарался осветить не только обстоятельства, при которых происходило сокрытие весьма значительных по стоимости исторических кладов на территории России, но и то, как их впоследствии искали, находили или... не находили. Ведь клады прятали с незапамятных времен, и с глубокой древности их разыскивали охотники за кладами. Подавляющее число публикаций на эту тему ограничивается лишь очередным перечислением кладоискательских легенд и краткой характеристикой спрятанных ценностей. А.Г.Косарев предпринял попытку показать на многочисленных конкретных и живых примерах как, каким образом и с помощью какого оборудования ведут поиски современные кладоискатели. Количество все еще ненайденных исторически значимых кладов намного превышает число найденных. И всем своим последователям на этом многотрудном пути автор дает четкие ориентиры для дальнейших поисков. |

Islam dominates the news these days-be it a story on Shia uprisings in Iraq, banning headscarves in French schools or prosecuting extremists involved in the Sept. 11 attacks-yet few Americans are familiar with the religion's complex history. Author Ruthven, along with Muslim scholar Nanji, present a rich but accessible history of Islam, now the religion of one-fifth of the world's population, from Mohammed to bin Laden. Brief, digestible essays create an illuminating picture of the pivotal moments and movements, like the colonization of the Muslim world and recent rise of Islamist terrorists, which are complemented by numerous color illustrations mapping the religion's spread from ancient Arabia to its outer limits in today's Africa and Southeast Asia. While this is not an infallible resource (the authors misidentify the location of Djenne's enormous mud mosque; it is in Mali, not Niger), it is certainly a most helpful one. Color maps and photographs throughout. |

Over the last two decades the historical focus has shifted from viewing events in a simple historical context to a more integrative perspective. This set offers a multidimensional picture of primarily Western civilization, covering Ancient Egypt (2675-332 B.C.E.), Ancient Greece and Rome (1200 B.C.E.-476 C.E.), Medieval Europe (814-1450 C.E.), Renaissance Europe (1300-1600 C.E.), and The Age of the Baroque and Enlightenment (1600-1800 C.E.). Similar in organization to Gale's American Eras and World Eras lines, the work exposes readers to each historical period through the study of nine different arts and humanities topics: "Architecture and Design," "Dance," "Fashion," "Literature," "Music," "Philosophy," "Religion," "Theater," and "Visual Arts." Each topic area is treated in a different chapter, but the connections between topics are highlighted both in the text and through cross-referencing. The result is a broader and more inclusive picture of the culture of each period, emphasizing connections between, for example, religion, dance, and literature or between the visual arts and architecture.
Each chapter is structured in the same way, containing a chronology; an overview of the development of the field under scrutiny; a "Topics" section, which discusses various movements, schools of thought, and masterworks that characterize the discipline during that era; a handful of biographies of significant people; and a list of documentary sources. Each of the subsections within "Topics" includes a list of sources. The writing, produced by subject experts, is uniformly clear and informative but quite pedantic. It is certainly not leisure--interest reading but does impart information in an admirably direct style.
Sidebars offer primary source material (letters, poems, essays, songs, epitaphs, etc.). Numerous black-and-white photographs, maps, and reproductions extend the text well. Technical terms and definitions appear both in the text and in the glossary, and lists of works for further reference, as well as media and online sources, are listed at the back of each volume. Although there is not a cumulative index, each volume does have its own accurate index. Aimed at college and university students with or without historical background, this set provides a solid picture of western European history through the arts.
