Derek Dwight Anderson

4.9/5 (18028 ratings)

Description:This uniquely-told world history interweaves the lives of twenty-six women and men who are not well known with the major political, economic, social, and cultural developments that have shaped the human experience through the course of the last 570 years. Meticulously researched and hailed by scholars, yet purposefully written for a broad audience, this book details the lives of doctors and musicians, aristocrats and artists, businessmen and suffragettes, scientists and generals who made essential, but now-largely forgotten, contributions to places and eras as diverse as Reformation Europe, Mughal India, Tokugawa Japan, colonial Australia, and post-colonial Kenya. Improbable Voices possesses both the vivid depth and the expansive breadth a satisfying history of the world warrants. Specific figures include Ethiopia's regent queen Eleni in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; Spain’s moderate viceroy in Mexico and Peru, Diego Fernández de Córdoba, in the seventeenth; France’s talented salonnière Julie de Lespinasse in the eighteenth, Polynesia’s indigenous Christian missionary Ta’unga in the nineteenth; and Saudi Arabia’s colorful oil minister Ahmed Zaki Yamani in the twentieth. The book concludes by examining the work of German and Canadian climatologist Kirsten Zickfeld and the environmental challenges we face in the twenty-first century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
