Author name: New Horizons Publications Number of pages: 128 Book size: 14×21 Publishing house: Horizons of Knowledge Translated by: Yara Ammar The origin of this book is two articles that first appeared in Blackwood magazine by Sir John Globe, written in 1977 at a time when the world was entering an era Dismantling colonialism, and the British Empire in particular was abandoning most of its colonies. Globe tried to draw - briefly - broad outlines of lessons inspired by history, because history - according to him - should be the history of the human race. Although he was one of the most important men of the British Empire, he did not look at history from the point of view of Eurocentrism, but rather considered The full benefit of history can be achieved by recalling it globally, not by focusing on a specific nation or period. As a statesman in the first place, his view of nations and civilizations was that of the elite that saw things in their big picture, and perhaps this is what enabled him to make the many comparisons that he presented. Meanwhile, Globe comments on the moral decadence that afflicted the English and American nation at his time, and draws a comparison between it and images from other civilizations, indicating that this decadence is the sign of collapse.
