Hemos complicado excesivamente el estudio del pasado dando mayor importancia a opiniones e intereses nacionalistas, religiosos y morales, relegando los hechos históricos a un segundo plano y subordinandolos a los intereses del sistema que pretende educarnos. Es hora de simplificar y respetar a nuestros antepasados esforzandonos por aprender lo que realmente sucedio en el pasado, no solo lo que el sistema pretende informarnos. Despues de tantos años de estudiar historia, he llegado a la conclusion de que la mejor manera de conocer el pasado es a traves de una cronologia imparcial y objetiva que coloque cada acontecimiento en su lugar exacto en el tiempo y revele la historia sin manipulaciones ni medias verdades. Esta cronologia es la obra de referencia mas completa, transcurre año tras año, en la medida de lo posible, desde la prehistoria hasta el presente. Para aquellos que prefieran un estudio mas profundo y detallado, he creado una segunda cronologia, que abarca dia a dia desde 1789 hasta 1946, dividida en cuatro colecciones.

Drawing together the evidence of archaeology, palaeoecology, climate history and the historical record, this first environmental history of Scotland explores the interaction of human populations with land, waters, forests and wildlife. This volume takes the reader from the climatic highs of the Late Iron Age to the depths of the war-torn and plague-ravaged fourteenth century. Departing from traditional frameworks that divide Scotlands history into periods based on kings reigns or major political events, discussion instead follows the major shifts in climate that divide these fourteen centuries into epochs, each with its own distinct characteristics. Starting amidst the fields and forests shaped across the eight millennia of Scotlands prehistory, where we encounter the imprint of past generations of hunters and gatherers, farmers and fishermen, as well as the legacies of climate impacts and pathogens, the book explores the depths of the Late Antique Little Ice Age and the long climb back to the Golden Age of the twelfth- and thirteenth-century Medieval Climate Anomaly, to end with the slide through crop-failure, famine, war and disease of what is reputed to be the worst century in human history.

In Western Europe, we typically associate Vikings with the storm-tossed waters of the North Sea and the North Atlantic, the deep Scandinavian fjords and the attacks on the monasteries and settlements of north-western Europe. This popular image rarely includes the river systems of Russia and Ukraine, the wide sweep of the Eurasian steppe, the far shores of the Caspian Sea, the incense and rituals of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the high walls and towers of the city of Constantinople. Yet for many Viking raiders, traders and settlers, it was the road to the East that beckoned.These Viking adventurers founded the NorseSlavic dynasties of the Rus, which are entangled in the bitterly contested origin myths of Russia and Ukraine. The Rus were the first community in the region to convert to Christianity in its Eastern Orthodox form and so they are at the heart of the concept of Holy Russia. Russian rulers have frequently referenced these Norse origins when trying to enhance their power and secure control over the Ukrainian lands, most recently demonstrated by Vladimir Putin as his justification for seizing Crimea and invading Ukraine.In this fascinating and timely book, historian Martyn Whittock explores the important but often misunderstood and manipulated role played by the Vikings in the origins of Russian power, the deadly consequences of which we are still living with today.
