Recommended readings:
1. "Horizontal History" by T. Urban.
2. "Putting Time in Perspective" by T. Urban.
3. "The Future's in the Past" by S. Fry. Memorable quote: "History is memory; we have to remember what it is like to be a Roman, or a Jacobite or a Chartist or even - if we dare, and we should dare - a Nazi. History is not abstraction, it is the enemy of abstraction."
4. "Does it Help to Know History?" by A. Gopnik. Memorable quote: "What history generally “teaches” is how hard it is for anyone to control it, including the people who think they’re making it."
Remember to bring a laptop or an electronic tablet to class.
