Natural disasters, financial problems, political corruption, the Middle East, the treatment of wounded soldiers, free and fair elections, foreign relations, sports results, travel delays, death and taxes...We have been here before!
The issues that make the headlines today are also the things people worried about 2,000 and more years ago. Learning how the people of the past dealt with them can prepare us to face the issues affecting us today. The past is a virtual laboratory in which we can study how cause and effect plays out in different circumstances.
Combining a researcher's skill at finding unexpected connections in everyday events and a historian's knowledge of source material, in 'ALL THINGS UNDER THE SUN: How Modern Ideas are Really Ancient' Lindsay Powell takes a clear eyed and often witty look at modern times through the longer perspective of ancient history and reveals that, as the old adage goes, 'all things under the Sun, there's nothing new'. This recording, read by the author, features a bonus chapter with additional material.
