The book’s structure blends history and geography. A good world atlas or a world historical atlas will be helpful in the reading. The historical arrangement of contents has six Parts” Classical, Mediaeval, Early Modern (Lands), Early Modern (Ideas), Late Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries, Twentieth Century. Although this sequence of periods and categories fits Western/European history best, it is also reasonably appropriate for Central Asia, India, and China. For other regions it is more arbitrary, and Classical and Mediaeval periods are merged. Because the Parts overlap and involve imprecise categories, in the List of Contents and Summaries no attempt is made to give dates for their beginning and end.

A’dan Z’ye Türk Yargı Reformu çalışmamızda temel gelişme sahası olarak belirlediğimiz yargı ve hukukun üstünlüğü alanındaki sorunların çözümü için başta AB üye ülkeleri olmak üzere birçok demokratik ülkede ve Türkiye’de ortak olan yargı kurulları sorunlarının çözümü için çözümler geliştirdik. Yargının hizmet üretim kapasitesini artıran, kalitesini geliştiren, böylece ülkemizin küresel rekabet gücünü de temel bir alanda yükselten yenilikçi tasarım ve taslaklar oluşturduk. Hukukun üstünlüğünü gerçekleştirmeye tam yetkin, hesapverir, tam bağımsız olan ve bağımsızlığını savunabilen yenilikçi bir yargı teşkilatı tasarladık.

Like a Hollywood action movie, Mankind is a fast-moving, adventurous history of key events from each major historical epoch that directly affect us today such as the inven...
