The Future of Our Past: From Ancient Greece to the Global Village (Oxford-Westminster Critical Studies)

Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
History has become focused on the future; the age of the information superhighway finds us always looking to the next horizon. But will there be a future for humanity? Considering the dire threats from environmental degradation, nuclear proliferation, and vicious ethnic rivalries, one may wonder what sort of future (if any) is in store for mankind. H. J. Blackham tells the reader that the future, the outcome of history, has already been mapped out. If we want to know where we're going, we need to embrace where we've come from. The Western world must take the time to understand, appreciate, and learn from its rich past in order to move toward its future.
