This can be a good device for primary sources which are available for free. Hope it handles epubs well too. I have a lot of books on my amazon wishlist that I occasionally buy. Maybe this will save me money in the long run.
After much wrangling and thought, and after watching this video I decided to buy a Sony PRS-T1. My main concern has always been how they handle PDF files and external storage. According to that video, this does exactly what I was hoping for in an ereader. I do have some concern with page refresh rate and how slow the page turning is, but we'll see. Going to get it now. If the store has it in stock and after I mess around with it a bit, I'll give my review on it later. $129 at Staples.*oh well, they didn't have it in the store so I just ordered it online. Should be in by Tuesday
terra australis incognitaIs it possible this could be Plato's Atlantis? Does anyone know the primary sources of this Australis? I think it's Aristotle and Ptolemy. How do they compare to what Plato wrote?
I'm so Anglo-centric right now that I'll probably be staying with British history for a while (maybe even grad school). The thing about British history is it's great for those of us with ADD because you can go all over the place, and because of this going all over the place, I'm gaining more interest in other areas like the Middle Ages, Dutch history, the French Revolution, and Australia.The only reason I ask others' opinions is because I keep thinking a guy my age should be more focused on something and stick with it, but as I'm learning about other areas and eras, I'm developing more of an interest in them. That's OK, right?
Yeah, but Ireland and Great Britain are pretty much the same history. I'm particularly liking the early naval (exploring as well as military) history…at this time anyway ;D Still like the Greeks, just need a break.
had to have led an army in the field against the British
Why would aerial bombing not count? Hitler certainly did more damage to GB than Collins ever did.
UK DEMANDS £45M ‘WAR’ DEBT FROM ARGENTINAMy opinion about the Falklands...it belongs to Great Britain, always did, and always will. Argentina never had any claim to it whatsoever.
I need a deeper understanding of what historiography is, but I think I'm going in the right direction.
In other words, we are not the ones doing the interpreting; rather, we are looking at historical interpretations made by past civilizations.
I assume you also mean how a 19th century historian compares to an 18th century historian discussing the same topic. Using the study of the British Empire as an example: a 19th century writer is still in the midst of the height of the British Empire were a contempory historian sees it as a whole with a beginning and an end. Apart from new dicoveries, does this mean they view or should view 16th or 17th century British history differently? Is historiography were revisionism comes from? It seems so or at least could be.
Yes, but I read somewhere they extended it for some reason (maybe just to mess with the conspiracy nuts)
