The set of six volumes covers a span of 2500 years, tracing how different cultures and societies have thought about, struggled for, developed and sustained peace in different ways and at different times. 1. A Cultural History of Peace in Antiquity (500 BCE - 800 CE); 2. A Cultural History of Peace in the Medieval Age (800 - 1450); 3. A Cultural History of Peace in the Renaissance (1450 - 1648); 4. A Cultural History of Peace in the Age of Enlightenment (1648 - 1815); 5. A Cultural History of Peace in the Age of Empire (1815 - 1920); 6. A Cultural History of Peace in the Modern Age (1920 - present). Each volume discusses the same themes in its chapters: 1. Definitions of Peace; 2. Human Nature, Peace and War; 3. Peace, War and Gender; 4. Peace, Pacifism and Religion; 5. Representations of Peace; 6. Peace as Integration; 7. Peace Movements; 8. Peace, Security and Deterrence. This structure offers readers a broad overview of a period within each volume or the opportunity to follow a theme through history by reading the relevant chapter across volumes. Generously illustrated, the full six-volume set combines to present the most authoritative and comprehensive survey available on peace in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Cultural History of Peace\u003c\/i\u003e presents an authoritative survey from ancient times to the present.
