	The Modern Word - "A New Universal History of Infamy" Review
		The seven “histories” were followed by five short parodies collected under the heading of “Etcetera” – fragments of original writing that Borges brazenly attributed to authors such as Burton and Swedenborg.
		Hughes’ infamous histories have neither the variety nor the subtlety of Borges’ – despite the occasional flash of wit, most of Hughes’ rogues are insane sociopaths, responsible for much useless death and misery, their misdeeds all too easily accessorized.
		The droll manner in which he begins and ends his histories is deliciously satisfying, and the sketches abound with marvelous touches of sardonic humor.

	EAWC Essay: The Educational Value of History
		History is the comment made afterward, when the fight is over and ended and the combatants are cold in their graves; and the duty of history is to hear all sides and all persons, to weigh all pleas, to sift all testimonies, to be fair to all.
		History is for time, what travel is for space; it is an intellectual journey across oceans and continents of duration, and of ages both remote from our own and vitalized and enriched by stupendous events.
		Without history, nearly all the practical wisdom of mankind, gained through innumerable blunders and mishaps, would be lost, and the same blunders and the same mishaps would have to be repeated and to be suffered over and over again on the part of successive generations ignorant of what had happened before.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Church History
		Ecclesiastical history is the scientific investigation and the methodical description of the temporal development of the Church considered as an institution founded by Jesus Christ and guided by the Holy Ghost for the salvation of mankind.
		Objectively speaking, history is the genetical development of the human mind and of human life itself in its various aspects, as it comes before us in series of facts, whether these pertain to individuals, or to the whole human race, or to any of its various groups.
		Thus we have the history of the popes, of cardinals, of councils, collections of the lives and legends of the saints, the history of orders and congregations; also of patrology, dogma, liturgy, worship, the law, constitution, and social institutions of the Church.

	Universal Studios History
		Universal's rich entertainment legacy can be traced back to 1906, when 39 year-old Bavarian immigrant Carl Laemmle (pronounced LEM-lee) opened his first nickelodeon theater in Chicago.
		However, the Universal tour was temporarily halted in the late 1920s, when "talkies" became the norm and producers demanded a set free of visitor's noise.
		The Universal Studios Tour was revived in 1964, and MCA/Universal also became a pioneer in location-based entertainment during the 1970s and 1980s.

		One person may associate world history with the study of the movements of one person across an ocean, another may encourage us to go back and reflect on human population growth and even the origins of the universe 13.7 billion years ago.
		Universal histories, however, are not simply a Western imperial product imposed upon the rest of the world: they probably have a relationship with the creation stories told by peoples around the world.
		Universal history became one of a number of competing visions of 'world history' in the twentieth century, and persists today in philosophies of history and the sub-field of big history (ie.

	Idea For A Universal History
		Many have answers to questions of history, Kant, with a curious brilliance, had the presence of mind to but ask, and leave some answer to the future, for he must have sensed that he was given inadequate data.
		History, as he tells us, has to be looked at in its full, universal time sweep, for only in history as a whole is nature's purpose realized.
		And history has to be considered from a cosmopolitan point of view because its necessary goal is a 'perfect civic constitution of mankind', a point which Kant stresses not only in the Idea, but in Eternal Peace, where he defends "the idea of a cosmopolitan world law' against the charge of utopianism.

		Civil and natural history, the history of art and of literature, must be explained from individual history, or must remain words.
		Beside its primary value as the first chapter of the history of Europe, (the mythology thinly veiling authentic facts, the invention of the mechanic arts, and the migration of colonies,) it gives the history of religion with some closeness to the faith of later ages.
		The universal nature, too strong for the petty nature of the bard, sits on his neck and writes through his hand; so that when he seems to vent a mere caprice and wild romance, the issue is an exact allegory.

		The result is The Universal History of Numbers, an impressively detailed account of pretty much every aspect of the emergence and evolution of counting from the Cro-Magnons of 25,000 BC through Babylonian, Greek and Roman times to the metric system and beyond.
		The Universal History of Numbers is the most comprehensive book I have come across on the subject by quite some way, and I have probably read over 100.
		There is also much of interest,including the opening sections describing the universality of counting on parts of the body, but I was surprised that it did not explain more recent and complex mathematical concepts such as imaginary and transcendental numbers which I would like to have known more about.

		That is because it is indeed the Indian zero, transmitted to us through the Arabs together with the number-symbols that we call Arabic numerals and which are in reality Indian numerals, with their appearance altered somewhat by time, use and travel.
		If you wanted to schematise the history of numbering systems, you could say that it fills the space between One and Zero, the two concepts which have become the symbols of modern technological society.

	Rhys Hughes A New Universal History of Infamy Reviewed by Rick Kleffel
		However, since I have a history of writing imaginary book reviews, this review could also be classified as a work of historical fiction, if you're willing to soak the definition of historical fiction until it becomes pliable enough to stretch-to-fit this composition.
		He displays either an encyclopedic knowledge of the last 1,000 years of history -- or a facility for lying which suggests he ought to seek a job in government -- that enables him to create, in the readers' swirling brain, pictures and montages that are positively mind-boggling.
		Suffice it to say that 'A New Universal History of Infamy' includes not only hilarious histories of people no sane reader would hope to have existed, but also a series of parodies, surplus parodies, parodies of parodies and even a parody of itself such as one the reader might wish to write after reading it.

		Given their history of cultural insecurity, it seems as no surprise that an entity like the Jews had to found and scapegoated to justify their grandiloquent dreams.
		As someone professionally educated as a sociologist, I was fascinated by the author's discussion of the meaning of the Holocaust in terms of history, and the question as to whether or not it represented the "antithesis of Western Civilization" or its realization.
		This treads very close to a searing indictment made by sociologist Max Weber of the eventual drift of rationalism as practiced in western societies toward a kind of non-thinking and non-substantive form of the rational impulse, a shadow which contented itself with the forms and practices of rationalism but none of its intent and rigor.
