Byzantium Beyond The Clich A Conversation With Maria Mavroudi Howard Burton by Howard Burton 9781771700733, 1771700734 instant download after payment.

This book is based on an in-depth conversation between Howard Burton and Maria Mavroudi, Professor of History at UC Berkeley. Maria Mavroudi specializes in the study of the Byzantine Empire and this wide-ranging conversation explores her extensive research on the Byzantine Empire and how it has repeatedly been undervalued by historians despite its having been a military and cultural powerhouse for more than a millennium.

This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, Beyond the High-School Narrative, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter:

  • Becoming A Byzantinist - Inspiration and motivation
  • Historical Background - Byzantine beginnings
  • The High-School Narrative - History as a cultural mirror
  • Recovering Truth - A never-ending goal
  • Building Knowledge - Standing on the shoulders of giants
  • Annotated Discoveries - Leo the Mathematician, for example
  • A Translational Discovery - From Arabic to Greek, surprisingly
  • Arrows of Causality - Consequential greatness
  • Decline - A matter of opinion?
  • Extracting Meaning - Interpreting human experiences
  • Ever-Moving Targets - Arab-Greek bilingualism and its implications
  • About Ideas Roadshow Conversations Series (100 books):

    Presented in an accessible, conversational format, Ideas Roadshow books not only explore frontline academic research featuring world-leading researchers, including 3 Nobel Laureates, but also reveal the inspirations and personal journeys behind the research. Howard Burton holds a PhD in physics and an MA in philosophy, and was the Founding Director of Canada's Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.
