The Paths Of History
This is a broad and ambitious study of the entire history of
humanity which takes as its point of departure Marx’s theory of social
evolution. However, Professor Diakonoff’s theory of world history
differs from Marx’s in a number of ways. Firstly he has expanded Marx’s
five stages of development to eight. Secondly he denies that social
evolution necessarily implies progress and shows how ‘each progress is
simultaneously a regress’, and thirdly he demonstrates that the
transition from one stage to another is not necessarily marked by
social conflict and that sometimes this is achieved peacefully and
gracefully. As the book moves through these various stages, the reader
is drawn into a remarkable and thought-provoking study of the process
of the history of the human race which focuses on the wide range of
factors (economic, social, military-technological, and
socio-pyschological) which have influenced our development from
palaeolithic times to the present day.
• Short, concise analysis of the development of mankind from palaeolithic times to the present day
• Examines all aspects of our development (e.g. social, political, economic, socio-psychological, technological, ethical)
• Bold in coverage with echoes of Marx, Toynbee and other seminal world-historical authors
Child's Mind
The remarkable physical transformation children undergo as they grow up is matched only by the metamorphosis of their minds. Parents, of course, play a critical role in this aspect of development. But what’s really going on in a child’s head? Kids can’t always tell us what’s on their minds. Psychologists, neurobiologists and other scientists can help fill in the blanks, however.
Learn how children develop morals, why they talk to themselves, and what happens to brain development and function in the face of abuse at an early age. Other articles explore how reading should be taught, how attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder arises and what unique challenges gifted children face. Lastly, sharpen your little one’s powers of concentration, and your own, with a few easy tricks.
