This review is from: Personalities & Problems: Interpretive Essays in World Civilization, Volume I (Paperback)
This book has a wealth of essays that compare and contrast leaders and historical figures that most people would have never placed together in the same discussion. It uses this strategy to show the dicotomony between religion, political strength, culture, economic policies, etc. of the different leaders, but also lets the reader know that through it all, there are still some similarities.
This volume includes a great essay on the development of law between Hammurabi and Moses. I use them in the classroom for my students to get a better understanding of how to write an essay, especially a historical essay, and how to compare and contrast. You can have your students read chunks and slowly put together a Venn Diagram, or some other graphic organizer. They could also use the information contained in the essay to have a mini-debate between the two figures. Highly recommended. |
