The Geneses of Civilizations, Part Two (A Study of History Volume #2)
by Arnold J. ToynbeeArnold Toynbee writes: IN the first volume of A Study of History, I start by searching for a unit of historical study that is relatively self-contained and is therefore more or less intelligible in isolation from the rest of history. I was led into this quest by finding myself dissatisfied with the present-day habit of studying history in terms of national states. These seemed, and still seem, to me to be fragments of something larger, and I found this larger and more satisfying unit of study in a civilization. The history of the United States, for instance, or the history of Britain, is, as I see it, a fragment of the history of Western Christendom or the Western Christian World, and I believe I can put my finger on a number of other societies, living or extinct, that are of the same species. Examples of other living civilizations besides the Western Civilization are the Islamic and the Civilization of Eastern Asia, centring on China. Examples of extinct civilizations are the Greco-Roman and the Ancient Egyptian. This practice of dealing in civilizations instead of nations is taken for granted by orientalists, ancient-historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists. The carving-up of a civilization into pieces labelled 'nations' is, I believe, something peculiar to students of modern Western history, and, with them too, this present practice of theirs is only recent. Down to the beginning of the eighteenth century, the classic works of Western historians took for their field the whole history of Western Christendom or even the whole history of the World from the Creation to the Last Judgement. Other books in this series are available from Bookshare.

Saving Milly: Love, Politics, and Parkinson's Disease
by Morton KondrackeFrom the book: "Deeply affecting . . . Unforgettable . . . Kondracke seems to be a natural truth-teller, and the directness of his narrative, its demotic lack of interest in irony when confronted with the rudimentary facts of mortal illness, opens his reader's heart and engages his reader's mind." -The New Republic "This is Morton Kondracke's account of his wife's battle with Parkinson's disease and his own transformation from a self-described careerist with more drive than talent to a mensch who has achieved greatness in this one book alone. I finished it last night in tears." -RICHARD COHEN, The Washington Post "Morton's love for Milly has been unfailingly strong and steadfast ... in sickness and in health. His fierce devotion has inspired him to move mountains, and move scientists closer than ever to finding a cure for this cruel disease. We all must join together to fight for more money so we can save our most precious resource-the lives of those we love." -KATIE COURIC
