Нова история - от живота в сянката на динозаврите до нас. Нашите предци, бозайниците, са се появили почти едновременно с динозаврите преди повече от 200 млн. г., когато цялата суша е била събрана в един свръхконтинент, изсушен от обширни пустини. А предисторията на тези първи бозайници е още по-дълбока. Тя започва преди около 325 млн. г. в необятните заблатени карбонови гори. Тогава в голямото родословно дърво на живия свят линията на предшествениците на бозайниците се е отделила от тази на влечугите. През тези огромни интервали от геологично време бозайниците са се развили в хиляди смайващи форми. По едно или друго ... |

The purpose I pursue with this book is to compare the information that has come down to us from old writers and to draw some conclusions about the people who spread the Bulgarian state to the Balkans, without resorting to the numerous contemporary books that I have read and that fill my library. I do this not out of disrespect for the tremendous work of contemporary Bulgarian writers and historians, but out of a desire to make an independent assessment of events and to draw my own conclusions about the relationship and sequence of events and their consequences by reading only older authors. I hope the book will find a ... |

"It is well know to all how much daily problems the Bulgarian people has in these days. However, more dangerous than anything is the tendency to loose identity and national selfconfidence. This is a clearly visible tendency in the inscriptions of foreign languages, mass emigration and the wish for imitation of foreign culture.

The above-described situation makes preservation and popularization of Bulgarian History extraordinarily important. If it ... |
