לפני מאה אלף שנים חיו בכדור הארץ לפחות שישה מינים שונים של אדם. לאף אחד מהם לא היתה חשיבות מיוחדת. תפקידם בטבע לא היה גדול מזה של גורילות, גחליליות או סוסוני ים. לפני כשבעים אלף שנה התחולל שינוי מסתורי כלשהו בתודעתו של אחד ממיני האדם הללו — הומו סאפיינס — ודחף אותו להשתלט על העולם כולו. ההיסטוריה של הומו סאפיינס מאז ועד היום היא לעתים מזעזעת, לעתים משעשעת ותמיד מרתקת. מה בדיוק קרה להומו סאפיינס לפני שבעים אלף שנה שדחף אותו להשתלט על העולם? איך ולמה נעלמו כל יתר מיני האדם?

In Up the Youth Club, Emma Warren maps the shifting story of youth clubs in the UK and Northern Ireland, from factory workers in Victorian Boys' and Girls' clubs to renegade self-emancipatory spaces in the 1970s and the music-generating youth clubs of more recent decades. With a mixed lineage in church evangelism, the patronage of the upper classes, grassroots' DIY, and erratic state funding, the youth club has had a huge, yet almost invisible, effect on music, sport, culture and society.

Daughter. Duhitár-. Dustr. Dukte. Listen to these English, Sanskrit, Armenian and Lithuanian words, all meaning the same thing, and you hear echoes of one of history’s most unlikely journeys. All four languages—along with hundreds of others, from French and Gaelic, to Persian and Polish—trace their origins to an ancient tongue spoken as the last ice age receded. This language, which we call Proto-Indo-European, was born between Europe and Asia and exploded out of its cradle, fragmenting as it spread east and west.

বহুকাল ধরে মানুষের সভ্যতা গড়ে উঠেছে নদীকে কেন্দ্র করে. নদীর প্রবাহের সাথে গড়ে উঠা জনমানবের জীবনের গল্প — মহানদী। এই অনবদ্য বইটির জন্যে অনিতা অগ্নিহোত্রী চিরকাল স্মরণীয় হয়ে থাকবে পাঠকের কাছে. নদীর প্রবাহের সাথে সাথে সেই সকল অঞ্চলের লোক-কথা, সংস্কৃতি, অর্থনীতি, ঐতিহ্য, এই সকল জীবনের প্রতিফলন এই গল্পগুলিতে। একদিকে এটি যেমন একটি গবেষণা গ্রন্থ, আরেকভাবে এক অসাধারণ ঐতিহাসিক প্রবন্ধ যা বাংলা সাহিত্যের এক অবিচ্ছেদ্য অঙ্গ হয়ে উঠেছে।

It's easy to think that ancient history is, well, ancient history—obsolete, irrelevant, unjustifiably focused on Greece and Rome, and at risk of extinction. In What Is Ancient History?, Walter Scheidel presents a compelling case for a new kind of ancient history—a global history that captures antiquity's pivotal role as a decisive phase in human development, one that provided the shared foundation of our world and continues to shape our lives today.

History loves a villain. Across the entire span of human civilisation, certain people and groups have been identified as being responsible for the ills of the world, and have remained hated for it. In his continuing desire to separate out the facts from the fiction of history, Otto English looks at how these legacies were constructed and who told us that they were evil.

Collectors are often praised for their taste in art or contributions to science, but there can be a darker side: their passion is sometimes driven by dangerous obsession. Roman emperors who lusted after statues; Chinese scholars obsessed with rocks and flowers; fin de siècle dandies surrounded by bibelots. History is full of stories about those who love things more than people, presenting a danger either to themselves or others.

Surely, Christmas in the distant past must have been different from the one we know today. But how different? You're about to find out. The Christmases of long long, ago were a merry mess of of odd superstitions, dangerous games, and overindulgences that lasted from Christmas Day until Epiphany twelve days later. The "Christmas season" of earlier times was not the period from Thanksgiving to Christmas Day that Americans experience today, but rather a no-holds-barred bacchanalia following the austerity period of Advent.

O istorie ingenioasa si antrenanta a universului, Pamintului, vietii si omului, o poveste care merge de la Big Bang, cind nu eram nimic, pina la aparitia civilizatiei si la noi, cei de astazi.

Trotzdem lassen sich, wie Volker Reinhardt in seiner meisterhaften Darstellung zeigt, große Linien und Wendepunkte erkennen. Er erklärt, wie vor rund 5000 Jahren die ersten Reiche entstanden, welche ihrer Errungenschaften Bestand hatten und wo sich Wege friedlich oder kriegerisch kreuzten.

The scope is vast, with Wedgwood’s scholarship spanning all the continents.

One day while sitting around the dinner table with his family, Victor Briggs’s Uncle Tim told him that on a visit to Hawaii, he had met an Indigenous Hawaiian Elder who told him a story.

Hawaiian people were so impressed with Aboriginal people that they let them stay on their islands when they were travelling throughout the Pacific Regions.
