	1.1.2 periods, phases
		It is only for convenience and for the sake of highlighting history that we encapsulate historical process into discrete events: the founding of a city, the death of an emperor, the fall of an empire.
		Yet, except in cases of violent termination of physical structures or in the death of an individual, historical events cannot be contained in brief chronologies and in each case, including the sacking of cities or the death of leaders, the significance of the historical event extends both before and beyond its discrete chronology.
		Historical periods, phases of culture and epochs of civilization are interpretive tools which we use to make sense of discerned patterns of meaning.

	What Is Historical Fiction?
		It may have something to do with the public's on-again, off-again appreciation of history in general, or a general perception that historical fiction is simply another flavor of history, a subject many learned to dread in school.
		The writer of historical fiction is first a writer not of history, but of fiction, and fiction is about characters, not events.
		So historical fiction is a close relative of history, but not simply a retelling of the lectures we learned to dread in high school.

	Op/Ed: Historical periods between wars and natural disasters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Thus, many of the historical periods we study in the Caribbean and Latin America were defined between war and war.
		As a result, we are almost driven to believe that historical periods will no longer be defined by warlike conflicts as in years gone by, but instead by the occurrence of natural phenomena.
		We would therefore speak of the period between the tsunami and the earthquake and between that and the hurricane or the landslide and the floods.

	Alchemy texts archives - Historical periods
		This is the period of the 'Turba philosophorum', and the scholars.
		These periods, of course, overlap, and are not necessarily to be seen as forming a serial evolution, but each of these has a kind of integrity, a core of ideas and coherent approach to alchemy, and many texts and authors can be seen as working within that particular current.
		The earlier part of this period was concerned primarily with translation or with exposition of the theory ('scientia') of alchemy.

		For them the concepts of accounting periodicity and matching were less relevant than in other industries and annual accounts were of questionable value.
		In conventional accounting the concept of accruals requires that costs, recognised as expenses, are matched with their associated revenues and that both are dealt with in the profit and loss account of the 12-month period to which they relate.

	FPA Journal - Projecting Retirement Income by Running Portfolios over Historical Periods
		The trials that Table 3 presents for PW include many of the extreme historical experiences since the 1920s—stock market booms and busts, peace with prosperity, wars and inflations—that individual retirements would have encountered and may encounter in the future.
		In that period, she approximates her target income but ends the period with insufficient financial assets to purchase a target remaining life annuity, even with Social Security.
		Thus, the historical retirement income projection model provides a specific example of the risk (five percent subjective probability?) PW might face of not receiving target income from her financial assets.

	Literary periods
		Basically, the period concept suggests two things: (1) that literary works can be grouped according to what they share with each other within a given time span, and (2) that this grouping can be differentiated from other such chronological groupings.
		Another thing we might try to avoid as we read in, or about a period, is what may be called the "evolutionary fallacy." This involves the claim that a particular period represents an "advance" of some sort or that something "higher" has "evolved" out of earlier, more "primitive" forms.
		Each of these major periods and movements is international in scope and designates the system of norms that dominated Western culture at a particular time of the historical process.

		In the aftermath of the reunification of the two Germanys, this period also sees the gradual merging of the German Federal Railroad and former East German State Railroad in terms of paint schemes, equipment usage and standards, the standards of the former being adopted for the latter.

	Miall -- Short Story Historical Periods (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Postmodernism is really a number of different things, which begin to appear in the 1930s but are most evident in the post-war period.
		Most centrally, as Clare Hanson puts it, "The characteristic fragmentation of postmodernist discourse is the direct result of a confrontation with language as itself problematic.
		It is shown that "reality" and "perception" are the constructs of a particular culture and language; hence the emphasis on stereotypes that we saw in several more recent stories, e.g, O'Connor, Munro, Gallant, as though this is all there is. There are no longer any master narratives, as Lyotard put in The Postmodern Condition.
