Abstract:

ABSTRACTThis paper reviews the position of old age in the societies of post-Roman Europe, from the fifth to the 10th centuries. Drawing on both primary and secondary literary and material sources of the period, I suggest that living beyond the age of 60 years was an uncommon experience throughout the early Middle Ages. Not only was achieving old age a minority experience, it seems to have been particularly concentrated among the senior clergy. This, together with the growing importance of the Christian Church as the institution that stabilised post-Roman society, the decline of urban living an

The digital age has been a boon for intellectual historians, particularly those of us who work on early modern Europe and America. The mass digitization of old books has made research more efficient than ever: first editions are there for the downloading on Google Books, Gallica, Liberty Fund, Project Gutenberg, and elsewhere. The creation of such large-scale databases as Early English Books Online (EEBO), Eighteenth-Century Collection Online (ECCO), the Making of the Modern World (formerly Goldsmiths’–Kress), or, on a more modest level, the ARTFL project's FRANTEXT, has also breathed new life

Bilateral treaties are an age-old tool of diplomacy, but before the First World War they were only rarely applied to the world of intellectual and cultural relations. This article explores the process by which diplomatic agreements on intellectual and cultural exchange came instead to be a common feature of interwar European international relations by contrasting two types of agreements identified by period observers: ‘intellectual’ accords, typified by the agreements France signed in the 1920s, and ‘cultural’ treaties, advanced by fascist Italy in the 1930s.

ABSTRACT Throughout Brazil’s Independence process, its central elites and the Crown planned what was to become of their new nation. Arguments over political systems and the continuation of slavery were at the heart of the debate, which drew in rich, poor, and the enslaved alike. As the empires of the Old World were rent at the seams by wars and conflicts, Brazil was rethinking its role in the world. In this article, inspired by the dialogue between micro-history and global history, and by the trans-imperial trajectory of the Bavarian doctor Georg von Schaeffer, I examine the political ideas th

Abstract World history can be arranged into three major regional divergences: the 'Greatest Divergence' starting at the end of the last Ice Age (ca. 15,000 years ago) and isolating the Old and the New Worlds from one another till 1500; the 'Great Divergence' bifurcating the paths of Europe and Afro-Asia since 1500; and the 'American Divergence' which divided the fortunes of New World societies from 1500 onwards. Accordingly, all world regions have confronted two divergences: one disassociating the fates of the Old and New Worlds, and the other within either the Old or the New World. Latin Amer

However, the vast majority of figurines from this region was neither polished nor highly coloured, nor even decorated — sometimes showing signs of rapid production for short-term usage.

The demarcation of phases of empire has a perennial fascination for historians of European expansion.

In outline, it seems that systems based on the close regulation of commercial capitalism through privileges devolved on more or less autonomous colonies and trading companies gave way to national empires under direct state authority and increasingly geared to the needs of industri

Abstract:

The case of a 60-year-old man illustrates a number of important features of rheumatic heart disease (RHD). The patient’s age of presentation was late (>50 yo) and he had no history of predisposing condition for RHD but served in the South Pacific when he was in the US Navy. RHD was limited to mitral stenosis in this patient and his presentation of heart failure was late. His ECG revealed ample evidence of right ventricular enlargement, and echocardiography demonstrated severe mitral stenosis, enlarged right ventricle and right atrium and marked pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract:

The origins of metalworking in Bronze Age China have long captivated scholars in the fields of Chinese art, archaeology, and the history of technology. Southwest Asia is traditionally regarded as the epicenter of early Old World metal technology, where sheet-metal working techniques—such as forging, particularly through hammering, and annealing—were most prevalent. Instead of oversimplifying the differences between section-mold casting in early China and lost-wax casting in the broadly defined ancient “West” (e.g., Southwest Asia and Europe), it is crucial to recognize that the defining charac

Thus, ESMO and NCCN guidelines recommend GT for all metastatic PC individuals, whereas American testing criteria are more broad and include family history and other tumor features, such as high-risk disease, or intraductal or cribriform histology.

On September 21, 2024, the Russian statehood will be 1162 years old. This advanced age is conceptually linked to the modern understanding of the historical evolution from the past to the present as a result of the thesaurus of knowledge accumulated over a hundred years. Historically, Russian statehood originally came from Veliky Novgorod in 862, and not later from the southern Kiev suburbs, which is confirmed not only by well-known chronicles, the works of scientists, but also by modern archaeological data.

Abstract:

In this book Liah Greenfeld tackles the problem that preoccupied Max Weber in The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1930). Like many others, she disputes Weber's claim that modern capitalism emerged uniquely in Northwest Europe because of the attitudes and behavior promoted by Protestant Christianity, especially in its Calvinist variety: The “worldly asceticism” and peculiar form of economic rationality involved spawned an economic system that eventually helped change the world. Critical of this precise argument, Greenfeld is in the Weberian camp in centering the problem where he

In stark contrast to the ignorance and darkness prevailing in Europe during the Middle Ages, where matters were viewed through the ecclesiastical lens, the flourishing Islamic civilization emerged.
