An Introduction to Historical Comparison
Historical comparison as a method of historical analysis goes back to Herodotus in antiquity, yet it was not until the 1920s through the work of historian Marc Bloch that it was recognised as a solid historical method. Even today, some historians are wary of applying a comparative lens to their work.Why is this, Mikhail Krom asks, when historical comparison can be an incredibly insightful approach to history?Designed as a helpful resource for historians, An Introduction to Historical Comparison aims to teach scholars how to develop the skills needed to successfully employ a comparative methodology.It begins by tracing the intellectual history of comparative history writing and then examines the practice of historical comparison.The result is a clear and engaging analysis of historical thinking and a useful guide to main methodological techniques, successes, and pitfalls of comparative research.An Introduction to Historical Comparison is the first comprehensive study of the theory and practice of comparative-historical research.Combining a wide range of case-studies from the best practitioners of historical comparison with an innovative interdisciplinary perspective, this book is thus a meaningful contribution to current debates on historiography.As such, this resource will be of immense value to both students reading historiography and methodology and to historians looking to apply a comparative approach to their own research.

Islam, Authoritarianism, and Underdevelopment : A Global and Historical Comparison
Why do Muslim-majority countries exhibit high levels of authoritarianism and low levels of socio-economic development in comparison to world averages?Ahmet T. Kuru criticizes explanations which point to Islam as the cause of this disparity, because Muslims were philosophically and socio-economically more developed than Western Europeans between the ninth and twelfth centuries.Nor was Western colonialism the cause: Muslims had already suffered political and socio-economic problems when colonization began.Kuru argues that Muslims had influential thinkers and merchants in their early history, when religious orthodoxy and military rule were prevalent in Europe.However, in the eleventh century, an alliance between orthodox Islamic scholars (the ulema) and military states began to emerge.This alliance gradually hindered intellectual and economic creativity by marginalizing intellectual and bourgeois classes in the Muslim world.This important study links its historical explanation to contemporary politics by showing that, to this day, ulema-state alliance still prevents creativity and competition in Muslim countries.

Weak in Comparison to Dreams
"Weak in Comparison to Dreams... is the most courageous and fascinating debut I have read since Mark Z.Danielewski’s House of Leaves." —Full Stop MagazineFor years, Samuel Emmer has monitored bacteria levels in drinking water for the small city of Guelph. He is content to focus on dangerous life-threatening single-celled organisms as his grasp on his own life recedes—and with it, family and friends.To be sure, it is more than a little surprising when Samuel learns that he has been appointed to the city’s Zoo Feasibility Committee.Even more so, that he is being tasked with interacting not just with animals, but human beings.His assignment: travel to zoos around the world and gather information on the stereotypical behavior of animals in their enclosures—the city of Guelph aspiring commendably, if naively, to a cruelty-free habitat for its animals.It is in Tallinn, Estonia, that the dreams start for Samuel.He is in a vast wooded landscape; there is a fire burning in the distance; and it is coming his way… Weak in Comparison to Dreams, by the historian and art critic James Elkins, is like no other novel you have ever read, even as certain inspirations, from Sebald to Tokarczuk, are clear.With an astounding breadth of knowledge and playful courage, Weak in Comparison to Dreams reignites our love for the ambitious novel with experimentation that never lacks intention, and whose empathetic scope explores the deepest aspects of our individual humanity.

What is the comparison between the Greek, Roman, and amphitheater?
The Greek and Roman civilizations both had amphitheaters, which were large open-air venues used for events such as gladiator contests, animal hunts, and public spectacles. The Greek amphitheaters were typically semi-circular in shape and built into hillsides, while the Roman amphitheaters were more oval or circular in shape and often freestanding structures. Both civilizations used these venues for entertainment and public gatherings, but the Roman amphitheaters were larger and more elaborate, reflecting the grandeur and power of the Roman Empire.

What are the characteristics and comparison of Greek colonialism with Roman imperialism?
Greek colonialism was characterized by the establishment of independent city-states, which maintained their own political and cultural identity while being connected to the mother city. Greek colonies were often established for trade and agricultural purposes, and they were governed by oligarchies or tyrants. In contrast, Roman imperialism was characterized by the expansion of the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire through conquest and assimilation of conquered territories. Roman imperialism aimed at creating a unified empire with a centralized government and administration, and it often involved the Romanization of the conquered territories. Overall, Greek colonialism focused on the establishment of independent city-states for trade and agriculture, while Roman imperialism aimed at creating a unified empire through conquest and assimilation.

Metaphor, comparison, or both?
A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unrelated things, while a comparison is a more general term that can refer to any type of similarity or difference between two things. Both metaphors and comparisons involve highlighting similarities between two things, but a metaphor does so by directly equating one thing with another, often in a more symbolic or imaginative way. So, when considering whether a particular phrase or expression is a metaphor, a comparison, or both, it's important to consider whether the language used directly equates one thing with another in a symbolic or imaginative way.

The Origins of Philosophy in Ancient Greece and Ancient India : A Historical Comparison
Why did Greek philosophy begin in the sixth century BCE?Why did Indian philosophy begin at about the same time?Why did the earliest philosophy take the form that it did?Why was this form so similar in Greece and India? And how do we explain the differences between them? These questions can only be answered by locating the philosophical intellect within its entire societal context, ignoring neither ritual nor economy.The cities of Greece and northern India were in this period distinctive also by virtue of being pervasively monetised.The metaphysics of both cultures is marked by the projection (onto the cosmos) and the introjection (into the inner self) of the abstract, all-pervasive, quasi-omnipotent, impersonal substance embodied in money (especially coinage). And in both cultures this development accompanied the interiorisation of the cosmic rite of passage (in India sacrifice, in Greece mystic initiation).

What is the difference between a penis comparison and a testicle comparison?
A penis comparison typically involves comparing the size, shape, or appearance of the penis, while a testicle comparison focuses on comparing the size, shape, or appearance of the testicles. Both types of comparisons are often done for reasons related to self-esteem, curiosity, or sexual interest, but they involve different parts of the male anatomy. It's important to remember that everyone's body is unique and comparisons should not be used to judge one's worth or masculinity.

What is the difference between qualitative offer comparison and quantitative offer comparison?
Qualitative offer comparison involves evaluating the non-numeric aspects of different offers, such as the quality of products or services, customer reviews, and brand reputation. It focuses on subjective factors that cannot be easily measured. On the other hand, quantitative offer comparison involves analyzing the numerical aspects of offers, such as price, discounts, and specific features or specifications. It relies on objective data that can be measured and compared directly. In essence, qualitative offer comparison looks at the overall value and customer experience, while quantitative offer comparison focuses on the specific numerical details of the offers.
