History, the collective experiences of Mankind, teaches us about the present and the future. How do we look at events of the past? Do they help to solve our present political or economical conditions and conflicts? From perspectives as varied as of the History of Ideas, Evolutionary Psychology and Ideologies - amongst others - the writers in this anthology apply history to today's concerns such as International Relations, Geopolitics, and Economics, and the role of the individual and human nature in history.
