À propos de cet audio
Following the surge of interest and pride in Celtic identity since the 19th century, much of what we thought we knew about the Celts has been radically transformed. From the warriors who nearly defeated Julius Caesar to druids who, contrary to popular opinion, definitely did not worship at Stonehenge, get to know the real Celts.
In The Celtic World, discover the incredible story of the Celtic-speaking peoples, whose art, language, and culture once spread from Ireland to Austria. This series of 24 enlightening lectures explains the traditional historical view of who the Celts were, then contrasts it with brand-new evidence from DNA analysis and archeology that totally changes our perspective on where the Celts came from. European history and culture have been profoundly affected by the Celts, from the myth of King Arthur to the very map of the United Kingdom, where the English confronted the peoples of the "Celtic Fringe."
With a wealth of historical expertise, Professor Jennifer Paxton (PhD Harvard University), Director of the University Honors Program and Clinical Assistant Professor of History at The Catholic University of America, guides you through each topic related to Celtic history with approachability and ease as you unearth what we once thought it meant - and what it may actually mean - to be Celtic. Professor Paxton's engaging, often humorous delivery blends perfectly with the facts about the Celts to uncover surprising historical revelations. The ancient Celts are very much alive in the literary and artistic traditions that their descendants have both preserved and very deliberately revived. All facets of Celtic life, past and present, are addressed by Professor Paxton, who demonstrates a masterful knowledge and carefully separates fact from myth at every turn. Come along for a ride through history to discover your inner Celt.

For the past few hundred years, most of what we’ve been taught about the native cultures of North America came from reports authored by the conquerors and colonizers who destroyed them. Now - with the technological advances of modern archaeology and a new perspective on world history - we are finally able to piece together their compelling true stories. In Ancient Civilizations of North America, Professor Edwin Barnhart, Director of the Maya Exploration Center, will open your eyes to a fascinating world you never knew existed - even though you’ve been living right next to it, or even on top of it.

Histoire4.5 out of 5 stars 105
Mesopotamia is the ancient name for the region that is now Iraq, a remarkably advanced civilization that flourished for two-thirds of the time that civilization has existed on Earth. Mesopotamians mastered irrigation agriculture; built the first complex urban societies; developed writing, literature, and law; and united vast regions through warfare and diplomacy. While civilizations like Greece and Rome have an unbroken tradition of written histories, the rich history of Mesopotamia has only been recently rediscovered, thanks to the decipherment of Mesopotamia's cuneiform writing less than 200 years ago.

Between 1861 and 1865, the clash of the greatest armies the Western hemisphere had ever seen turned small towns, little-known streams, and obscure meadows in the American countryside into names we will always remember. In those great battles, those streams ran red with blood-and the United States was truly born.

Impressive
I have watched many of the Great Courses but this is my first time listening thru Audible. I gravitated toward the subject because of my lived experience, genealogy and interest in history and this did not disappoint. I appreciated the journey through the ages and across the 7 Celtic regions with a focus on military battles, politics, linguistics and sociology. I most enjoyed how it intertwined with sports, music, literature and other arts as an enduring testament to a resilient culture.

good presenter not enough lectors
overall I enjoyed this series. The presentations were excellent and the lectures were well-crafted. my only real issue is that it tried to do too much. there was just too much ground to cover, ranging over 2000 years of history and a plethora of geographies.
this course would have benefited from greater Focus or from a greater number of lectures.

Really engaging lecturer and lectures
This course was pitched at the perfect level for me. I knew very little about the subject, but I found the lectures, accessible and very interesting and it’s encourage me to look into the subject more. I’ve binged the whole set and didn’t feel I had to force myself to listen to it at all.

Good, but a little too much for one course
There is a lot of interesting material in this course, but it does not go into a very satisfying depth since it attempts to cover the entire several thousand year history of the Celtic peoples across Europe. This results in a slight lack of some historical depth which is replaced by surface level social themes. It is still interesting, but leaves something to be desired.
Paxton performs the course quite well, although there are numerous awkwardly edited lines which were obviously recorded at another time and shoehorned in. This is not a major deal, but it does create a little dissonance every once in a while.

poorly structured
pretty random discussion and a lot of 'we'll talk about this later' it's just an unorganized mish-mash. this is less about the Celts than the current state of scholarship about the Celts, delivered in a meandering, repetitive style.
