SPRING 1955

VOLUME ̂ by C. HAROLD KING, University ofMiami (Earliest Civilization through 1648 A.D.)

This is a fascinating, absorbing and bandsome new text

for the basic History of Western Civilization course.

Written with the beginning student in mind, it comes

to grips with those main currents in political and

cultural developement which make up our heritage

The text is written in a style which is as vivid and color

ful as the story it tells. The many maps and illustrations

the text. Each of the 32 chapters has a short bibliog

raphy in addition to the extensive and scholarly bib

liography for the text as a whole.

VOLUME by ARTHUR J. MAY, University of

Rochester (Mid-seventeenth Century to the Present)

This book surveys in 33 chapters the continuing evolution of western civilization and its planetary impact

from the mid-seventeenth century to the present.

Emphasis rests upon the fundamentals of the westerninheritance. As the pre.sent is approached, the narrative broadens out, a quarter of the chapters dealingwith developments since 1919. Political happenings areby no means slighted, but other realms of endeavorare allotted due attention. The whole of humanity is

brought into focus—the transit of western ways to theOrient and Middle East. An unusual amount of space

is devoted to Russia, the Far East and the Americas.

EUROPE SINCE 1815

by Preston Slosson, University of Michigan

Professor Slosson's Europe Since 1815, is a skillful

integration of the political, social, economic and intel

lectual forces that went into the making of Europe as

it is today. Each section is preceded by illustrations of

personalities and events of the period and the text itselfis liberally supplemented by maps. Designed for theone-semester course in Europe Since 1815, the criticalbibliography of over 1000 titles makes it easily adapt

able to the fuU year course.

Professor Slosson has daringly cut and pared old facts;he has charted new courses through old details to provide

a real and fully comprehensible survey of the past century

and a half. This is a distinguished book and should bewelcomed by students and teachers alike.

A HISTORY OF ENGLAND

by Goldwin Smith, Wayne University

This is a dramatic presentation of English historywritten in a fluent and lively style. The vast body ofavailable material has been gleaned with perspective,judgment and scholarship to create a balanced text forthe undergraduate student seeking an understanding ofthose forces which shaped and guide contemporaryEngland.

A History of England is, in my opinion, more than acollege textbook. It is a thoughtful guide to the main problems in the evolution of the English state. While the narrative is detailed to the point of furnishing reference material, the perspective is never obscured and the judgmentsseem to me to be sound.

An important new basic text

World CivilizationsBy EDWARD McNALL BURNS, Rutgers University

and PHILIP L. RALPH, Lake Erie College

Stemming from and enlarging on Professor Bums' highly successful Western Civilizations, this new two-volume text has been prepared on the premise, shared by many,that one must view the world as a whole in order to acquire an understanding ofeach of its parts. No major region of the globe has been omitted. The Middle East,India, China, Japan, Europe, the United States, Latin America, and the Commonwealth of Nations have each received thorough treatment. The threads ofhistorical narrative have been skillfully interwoven to show the contributions ofeach successive culture to civilization as a whole and to point up the increasinglyimportant roles played by Asia and the Americas in the present age.All the maps in World Civilizations have been especially prepared to supplementthe written text. In addition, the two volumes are profusely illustrated with halftones, line-cuts, chronological tables, and other auxiliaries.

Congressional investigations, and national security in the "Cold War." In addition, numerous changes have been made in earlier chapters which bring the subject matterinto line with recent developments and the latest historical research. The list ofselected readings and the table of cases have been revised, expanded, and broughtup to date.
