The book begins by setting out the modern evidence for man's physical ancestry, putting Dryopithecus, Australopithecus, Heidelberg Man and the rest in their places. Mr. Mellersh then tells of man's first material achievements, his manipulation of flint; then come his spiritual achievements; his conquest of speech, his arts. An account of vae paintings leads to a discussion of magic and taboo. We follow man's further achievements, through the heroics of the great hunting age to the skills of the first farmers, the neolithic emblems that we now know as megalithic monuments.

Great Britain: Clarendon Press, 1987. This entirely new work is the last volume to be published in the Oxford History of England, and replaces J. N. L. Myre's own part of the first volume in the series, Roman Britain and the English Settlements - the classic 'Collingwood and Myres'. The author returns to the subject of his earlier contribution - the dark centuries of English history between the collapse of Roman rule in the early fifth century and the emergence of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom in the seventh - but considers the period afresh in the light of the rapid proliferation of work on the subject in the half-century since the first volume was published. Much new evidence on the literary sources, on the archaeological evidence both in England and on the continents, and on place names and other linguistic developments has led to significant chances in emphasis: Dr. Myres now draws attention to some little-understood factors which seem to link Roman Britain with Anglo-Saxon England, and so… Read More

London England: Cambridge University Press. This book is the outcome of the author's conviction that Hebrew history, which the Old Testament records, is essentially relevant to the conflict of contemporary ideas and affairs. The first part of this book deals with the Old Testament, and with the Bible as a whole, in relation to Christianity and present life; and the sequel traces how the great beliefs were attained by individual Hebrews of penetrating intelligence and moral integrity, seeking to find meaning in history and in their own experience. The book is written in terms which make it readable by anyone who takes a responsible interest in the turmoil of modern thought and conduct. It is also addressed to the special needs of professional students of religion and morals, and to teachers concerned with the study of the Bible. Previous owners name inside cover.
