Muhlberger's World History: Guy Halsall: think with history, act in the present.
http://smuhlberger.blogspot.com/2015/05/guy-halsall-think-with-history-act-in.html
Ancient, medieval, Islamic and world history - comments, resources and discussion. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Guy Halsall: think with history, act in the present. Guy Halsall sings, "You better free your mind instead! So, what would one be able to contribute to a debate on these (or other) issues if one held a (superficially) seemingly nihilistic view, like mine, of history as random, chaotic, ironic, and unpredictable, and of the past as having no ability in and of itself to compel anyone to do anything?

Ancient, medieval, Islamic and world history - comments, resources and discussion. Saturday, June 27, 2015. Violence prevention through public health methods.

Ancient, medieval, Islamic and world history - comments, resources and discussion. Sunday, July 05, 2015. Fintan O'Toole and the imaginative foundations of political structures. Has Europe lost its hold on our collective imagination? When I was a teenager in Dublin in the early 1970s, the phrase “We’re into Europe! We were into Europe [the EEC]. But what did “Europe” mean in this sense? One by one, the elements of the Europe story have fallen away. Democracy? The free movement of people? On the other, th...

Muhlberger's World History: Random historical observations
http://smuhlberger.blogspot.com/2015/06/random-historical-observations.html
Ancient, medieval, Islamic and world history - comments, resources and discussion. Monday, June 15, 2015. The weekend before last I had two interesting historical experiences. I attended as I often do a local Windsor event called Art in the Park. Not a lot of art as such, but plenty of crafts, and located in one of the city's most prominent parks – the grounds of the mansion built by Windsor's most famous distiller and smuggler of whiskey into the prohibition era United States. What was alarming was the ...

Muhlberger's World History: The legend of Saladin
http://smuhlberger.blogspot.com/2006/09/legend-of-saladin.htm
Ancient, medieval, Islamic and world history - comments, resources and discussion. Tuesday, September 19, 2006. The legend of Saladin. Saladin, the Kurdish warlord who recovered Jerusalem for Islam in 1187 and provoked the Third Crusade (the one in all the movies), is really famous in our time as a great and admirable Muslim leader.
