 | | Eugen Weber is Joan Palevsky Professor of Modern European History, Emeritus, at the University of California, Los Angeles. |
 | | Beginning with the ancients of the West and the Orient and, especially, with those from whom we received our religions, the Jews and earliest Christians, Weber finds that an absolute belief in the end of time, when good would do final battle with evil, was omnipresent. |
 | | Weber, a master storyteller, turns detective in this latest book as he finds these alternative rationalities in the West, Asia, Africa, and South America. |
