A Short History of Myth
Human beings have always been mythmakers. So begins best-selling writer Karen Armstrong's concise yet compelling investigation into myth: what it is, how it has evolved, and why we still so desperately need it. She takes us from the Paleolithic period and the myths of the hunters right up to the Great Western Transformation of the last five hundred years and the discrediting of myth by science. The history of myth is the history of humanity, our stories and beliefs, our curiosity and attempts to understand the world, which link us to our ancestors and each other. Heralding a major series of retellings of international myths by authors from around the world, Armstrong's characteristically insightful and eloquent book serves as a brilliant and thought-provoking introduction to myth in the broadest senseand explains why if we dismiss it, we do so at our peril.左手哈佛校训,右手西点军规
哈佛大学和西点军校:不仅是两所大学的名字,更是精神和智慧的象征。众多哈佛学子的成功,是哈佛大学人生哲学教育的硕果、素质教育的结晶。哈佛教育的一大核心理念,正是让每个学生都能塑造卓越的自我,学会创造自己的卓越人生。在西点军校的百年校庆上,罗斯福总统曾经对西点给予了极高的评价:“在这整整一个世纪中,我们国家其他任何学校都没有像她这样在刻有我们民族最伟大公民的光荣册上写下如此众多的名字。”
