Earn Holding Up A Mirror Edited By Anne Glyn-Jones PDF

Unlike histories of Western Societies filled with facts, dates and academic conclusions such as this,

"Government corruption, political dispute, and power struggle all weakened the empire, Rome eventually collapsed under its own bloated empire, losing its provinces one by one, "

Glyn Jones work, “Holding Up a Mirror”, is pointing to the "signs" signifying social and cultural changes taking place within these societies which led to government corruption, political dispute, etc.
Signs such as decline in religion and family and with those declines, loss of those binding values and traditions necessary to sustain a culture, I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in how social dynamics affect the life cycles of great cultures, An account of the way in which a decline in personal morality caused the fall of the great civilizations of Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, medieval Christendom, and England since the Reformation.
