A concise survey of the culture and civilization of mankind, The Lessons of History is the result of a lifetime of research from Pulitzer Prize–winning historians Will and Ariel Durant. With their accessible compendium of philosophy and social progress, the Durants take us on a journey through history, exploring the possibilities and limitations of humanity over time. Juxtaposing the great lives, ideas, and accomplishments with cycles of war and conquest, the Durants reveal the towering themes of history and give meaning to our own.

History is full to the brim with untold tales of heroics and villainy, gruesome battles, hilarious happenings and downright bizarre coincidences. Meet the war veteran who lost an eye and amputated his own fingers. Discover the original Die Hards, whose bravery would put even Bruce Willis to shame. Just who stole the still-missing Irish crown jewels and how did Adeline, Countess of Cardigan, scandalise society so completely? In Lessons from History, Alex Deane takes us on an uproarious romp through the tales you didn't hear at school. With stories ranging from the little-known characters who played their vital parts in the world's most famous wars to the remarkable adventures of figures across the centuries, to events so extraordinary as to be almost – almost – unbelievable, this book proves that fact is almost always wilder than fiction. Bringing these stories joyfully and often poignantly back to life, Deane finally shines a light on the tales lost to history, and on what we might learn from them today.

Historical lessons are useful or even necessary for our guidance and orientation in time. These lessons, however, have often been overlooked in historical reflections on watershed moments, such as genocides, treaties, and global movements. Focusing on how cataclysmic events, primarily within Central and Eastern Europe, have been transmitted across borders and generations, this volume interrogates how the theory of historical lessons has evolved, ultimately providing a useful framework for understanding contemporary conflicts and issues. Spanning topics from the mediation of history within film to the influence of historical oppression on student activism, this volume re-evaluates historiography’s potential for analyzing the past and engaging with the present.

The key aim of this volume is to demonstrate ways in which an understanding of history can be used to inform present-day transport and mobility policies. This is not to say that history repeats itself, or that every contemporary transport dilemma has an historical counterpart: rather, the contributors to this book argue that in many contexts of transport planning a better understanding of the context and consequences of past decisions and processes could lead to more effective policy decisions. Collectively the authors explore the ways in which the methods and approaches of historical research may be applied to contemporary transport and policy issues across a wide range of transport modes and contexts. By linking two bodies of academic research that for the most part remain separate this volume helps to inform current transport and mobility policies and to stimulate innovative new research that links studies of both past and present mobilities.

In the annals of human history, few events have left as profound a mark as World War II. This global conflict, spanning the years from 1939 to 1945, touched every corner of the earth, leaving an indelible scar on the soul of humanity. "The Crimson Dawn" delves into the heart of this cataclysm, capturing the essence of a world teetering on the brink of destruction. Through the eyes of ordinary men and women caught in the maelstrom of war, we witness the indomitable spirit of those who fought and endured, the resilience of those who survived, and the profound impact of a conflict that forever changed the course of history. From the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor to the liberation of Europe and the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this book chronicles the major events of the war while shedding light on the personal stories of those who lived through it. We meet soldiers, sailors, and airmen who risked their lives on the front lines, civilians who endured the horrors of occupation and bombardment, and leaders who grappled with the moral and strategic complexities of a global conflict. "The Crimson Dawn" is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. It is a story of courage, sacrifice, and the indomitable will to survive. It is a reminder of the devastating cost of war and the importance of striving for peace and reconciliation. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of World War II, its causes, its consequences, and its enduring legacy. It is a powerful and poignant reminder of the fragility of peace and the importance of cherishing the freedoms we hold dear. If you like this book, write a review!
