Context paragraphs:
Campaigns against corporal punishment: Campaigns against corporal punishment aim to reduce or eliminate corporal punishment of minors by instigating legal and cultural changes in the areas where such punishments are practiced.  Such campaigns date mostly from the late 20th century, although occasional voices in opposition to corporal punishment existed from ancient times through to the modern era.

A History of the Palestinian People: A History of the Palestinian People: From Ancient Times to the Modern Era is a non-fiction book by Assaf Voll purporting to cover the history of the Palestinian People from the dawn of humanity to present day.

Post-classical history: Post-classical history (also called the Post-Antiquity era, Post-Ancient Era, or Pre-Modern Era) is the period of time that immediately followed ancient history and preceded modern history.  Depending on the continent, the era generally falls between the years 200–600 and 1200–1500.  The major classical civilizations the era follows are Han China (ending in 220), the Western Roman Empire (in 476), the Gupta Empire (in the 550s), and the Sasanian Empire (in 651).  The post-classical era itself was followed by the early modern era, and forms the middle period in a three-period division of world history: ancient, post-classical, and modern.  The era is thought to be characterized by invasions from Central Asia, the development of the great world religions (Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism), and of networks of trade and military contact between civilizations.

Desilo: Desilo is a small valley in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, located near the Neretva river and the Croatian border.  Archaeological investigations in a small lake there in 2007 led to interesting finds of Illyrian boats.  Desilo was in antiquity probably connected with the Neretva via Lake Hutovo Blato.  References to the Neretva can be traced as far back as ancient times.  In the era of ancient Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Neretva was known as "Narenta", "Narona" and "Naro(n)", and was home to the ancient Illyrian tribes of the Ardiaei and the Daorsi.  The river Neretva provided them life, turning them into town builders, ship makers, seafarers and fishermen that were renowned in ancient times.

The Story of Art: The Story of Art, by E. H. Gombrich, is a survey of the history of art from ancient times to the modern era.

High jump: The high jump is a track and field event in which competitors must jump unaided over a horizontal bar placed at measured heights without dislodging it.  In its modern most practised format, a bar is placed between two standards with a crash mat for landing.  In the modern era, athletes run towards the bar and use the Fosbury Flop method of jumping, leaping head first with their back to the bar.  Since ancient times, competitors have introduced increasingly effective techniques to arrive at the current form.

Damodar Dharmananda Kosambi: Damodar Dharmananda Kosambi (31 July 1907 – 29 June 1966) was an Indian mathematician, statistician, historian and polymath who contributed to genetics by introducing "Kosambi's map function".  He is well known for his work in numismatics and for compiling critical editions of ancient Sanskrit texts.  His father, Dharmananda Damodar Kosambi, had studied ancient Indian texts with a particular emphasis on Buddhism and its literature in the Pali language.  Damodar Kosambi emulated him by developing a keen interest in his country's ancient history.  Kosambi was also a Marxist historian specialising in ancient India who employed the historical materialist approach in his work.  He is particularly known for his classic work "An Introduction to the Study of Indian History".

Parimelazhagar: Parimelazhagar (c. 13th century CE), also known as Vanthuvarai Perumal, was a Tamil poet and commentator known for his commentary on the "Thirukkural".  He was the last among the canon of ten ancient commentators of the Kural text most highly esteemed by scholars.  He was also among the five ancient commentators whose works had been preserved and made available to the Modern era, the others being Manakkudavar, Pari Perumal, Kaalingar, and Paridhi.  The chapter ordering, and the verse ordering within each chapter, of the Tirukkural as set by Parimelazhagar has been accepted as the standard for numbering the Kural verses in the Modern era.

Karkheh River: The Karkheh or Karkhen (perhaps the river known as the Gihon —one of the four rivers of Eden/Paradise to the Bible and as the Choaspes in ancient times; also called Eulæus; Hebrew: אולי Ulai) is a river in Khūzestān Province Andimeshk city, Iran (ancient Susiana) that rises in the Zagros Mountains, and passes west of Shush (ancient Susa), eventually falling in ancient times into the Tigris just below its confluence with the Euphrates very near to the Iran-Iraq border.  In modern times, after approaching within 10 mi of the Dez River, it turns to the southwest and then, northwest of Ahvaz, turns northwest and is absorbed by the Hawizeh Marshes that straddle the Iran–Iraq border.  Its peculiarly sweet water was sacred to the use of the Persian kings.  Ancient names for the Karkheh should be treated as conjectural because the bed of the river has changed in historic times, and because a nearby watercourse between the Karkheh and the Dez River, the Shaur, confuses the identification.

History of the World (book): History of the World is a compendium written by a collection of noted historians.  It was edited by William Nassau Weech, M.A., a former Headmaster of Sedbergh School (and a very early aficionado of downhill skiing who also wrote "By Ski in Norway", one of the first British accounts of the sport).  First published by Odhams in 1944, "History of the World" ran to three editions, the second edition in 1959, and the third in 1965.  The editor, W.N. Weech, wrote in the Preface:"This book is designed for the ordinary man or woman, who should have no difficulty in getting through it in a month, though many may prefer to compress their first reading of it into a fortnight."  W.N. Weech's "History of the World" is notable for bearing comparison with Ernst Gombrich's best-selling "Little History of the World", a book that is shorter and is addressed to younger readers.  (Gombrich, a Jewish émigré from Vienna, was an art historian better known for his classic work, "The Story of Art.) " Weech's book is noteworthy, not only for being both thorough and accessible, but also (not unlike Gombrich's) for maintaining a tolerant and measured style, despite being written during the dark days of Nazism.
