I could have spent all day. I like the idea of a "temporal" approach to history -- teaching everything that happened at a certain time, rather than presenting the entire history of a society, then going back to the "beginning" to teach another society.

This is an idea I have seen before, and is mooted by a number of Indian and Pakistani historians, but I'm sorry, I don't yet buy it. The dates alone seem wrong, as well as the technology: it's all very well for them to have had iron at the time, but what about horses and chariots? Interesting idea, though. cheer the sunshine warrior Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Well dodgy #122461 02/10/04 09:10 PM Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 1,624 Utter Placebo, Planet Reebok Capfka Pooh-Bah Capfka Pooh-Bah Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 1,624 Utter Placebo, Planet Reebok All a bit light and frothy, though. How much is "enough" and how much is "too much"? Matter of opinion, I guess.

It's like a spring-board...when something hits my fancy, I can do a more indept study on that specific subject. If it went into too much detail, then I'm not sure I'd wade through everything until I found a nugget of info that'd pique my curiosity.
