Environmental Problems of the Greeks and Romans

Ecology in the Ancient Mediterranean

By: J. Donald Hughes,Johnson Donald Hughes

How did ancient societies change the environment and how do their actions continue to affect us today? In this dramatically revised and expanded second edition of the work entitled Pan’s Travail, J. Donald Hughes examines the environmental history of the classical period and argues that the decline of ancient civilizations resulted in part from their exploitation of the natural world. Focusing on Greece and Rome, as well as areas subject to their influences, Hughes offers a detailed look at the impact of humans and their technologies on the ecology of the Mediterranean basin. Evidence of deforestation in ancient Greece, the remains of Roman aqueducts and mines, and paintings on centuries-old pottery that depict agricultural activities document ancient actions that resulted in detrimental consequences to the environment. Hughes compares the ancient world's environmental problems to other persistent social problems and discusses attitudes toward nature expressed in Greek and Latin literature. In addition to extensive revisions based on the latest research, this new edition includes photographs from Hughes's worldwide excursions, a new chapter on warfare and the environment, and an updated bibliography.

Education and Enmity (Routledge Revivals)

The Control of Schooling in Northern Ireland 1920-50

By: Donald Akenson

First published in 1973 Professor Akenson’s book traces the series of religious and political controversies which have battered the state schools of Northern Ireland. After the government’s admirably intentioned, but muddled, attempt to create a non-sectarian school system in the early 1920s, the educational system was progressively manipulated by sectarianism. The way in which the author describes how children are schooled reveals a great deal about the attitudes and values of the parental generation and also helps to explain the actions of later generations.

Geraint

Last of the Arthurians

By: Donald R Rawe

It is the year AD 560. Gerennius, or Geraint, the last remaining captain of King Arthurs triumphant stand against the Germanic invades of Britain, is faced with the problem of who should succeed him as king and pendragon of his southwestern kingdom of Dumnonia. Neither of his middle-aged sons is fitted for the purpose: Jestyn is a reclusive would-be hermit, and Selyf a boisterous, drunken bully. Geraint foresees only chaos and defeat after he dies. Then one day, from his fortress above the Vala River, he hears a laundry girl singing a sad song. In this novel, one of Cornwalls foremost authors surveys the panorama and conflict between Saxon invaders and native Celts and between the two great religions of Dumnoniathe Pantheon of Celtic gods and the growing impact of Christianity, brought to southwest Britai by Welsh and Irish Saints. This is a tale told with splendour and eloquence, to be compared with works of T.H. White and John Cowper Powys for its historic mastery and surefooted detail. Read and be mesmerised. Paul Newman, author of Galahad, The Lost Gods of Albian, and editor of Abraxas
