Apocalypses
Eugen Weber, Joan Palevsky Professor of Modern European History Emeritus Eugen Weber
The author presents apocalyptic visions and prophesies from "the ancients of the West and the Orient, ... the Jews and earliest Christians, ... Asia, Africa, and South America," and shows how these "beliefs inspired Crusades, scientific discoveries, works of art, voyages such as those of Columbus, rebellions, and reforms."--Jacket.
