Críticas:
"This book is exactly what is needed for those who would attempt to re-introduce the Roman and Greek world and its legacy to a Western society increasingly less well informed about its heritage...The presentation of this material is, perhaps, the volume's greatestand misogyny is also quite welcome and notable. This book does not whitewash embarrassing facts or events...Overall, this volume is an excellent new addition to the list of popular introductions to the ancient world." --Bryn Mawr Classical Review
Reseña del editor:
Democracy? Mathematics? The Calendar? Hospitals? This book is an enlightening look at the myriad ways that the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome have fundamentally influenced and shaped our modern world. Familiar institutions, rituals, and aspects of everyday modern life are examined to reveal their often surprising classical roots, while the authors explore a selection of the innovations of ancient Greek and Roman civilization to trace how these have developed through history and still affect the world of the twenty-first century. The style is fast-paced and, while drawing on authoritative and current scholarship, the factual information is enlivened with anecdotal details. This book will open the reader's eyes to a new understanding of the world that we live in today.

Buchbeschreibung Zustand: Sehr gut. 365 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Leichte Abnutzung, sehr gutes Exemplar / Light wear, very good copy. - Why, in the 21st century, should we still care about the ancient world? This book provides an answer by revealing the myriad and often surprising ways in which our modern world has been fundamentally shaped by the ancient Greeks and Romans. The profound contributions of antiquity to architecture, government, literature, and law are widely acknowledged, and this book clearly and entertainingly explores all of these topics, but it also shows how we still walk in the footsteps of the ancients in our everyday activities. From the rituals we observe when we get married, to how we exercise at the gym and view our bodies, to the calendar we use to measure time, we are merely imitating and repeating the actions of our distant ancestors. Celebrity athletes, fashion trends, superstitions, and tourist hot spots the classical world had them all. Often the phrase That s just ancient history is used to dismiss something as being irrelevant and beneath consideration. This book challenges this assumption of irrelevance by vividly demonstrating just how much the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome have influenced and shaped our world today in ways both large and small.
