Talk:Bryan Ward-Perkins

message: His little End of Civilization book
It looks like a penguin history book not an academic work with the number of pictures it uses. 
All so derivative and I realize he's trying to "reassert the old argument" but his dismissal of a lot of factors we know about thanks to science (you can list off half a dozen even from wiki's fall of the empire pages) so he doesn't actually reassert the old argument he just repeats it with a nod to other factors for about 10 secs.
Mentions women six times total four in the context of slavery two of rape.. 
I just feel like the book must be some sort of joke for critics to bite onto --188.29.50.21 (talk) 11:53, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: I wrote the original text and have no objection to your edits.  I didn't think my text was biased against his book--a book I rather like, in fact--but I can see how one might think it was. Dppowell (talk) 21:19, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
