THE MAKING OF ENGLISH HISTORY

Edited by R. L. Schuyler and Herman Ausubel, Columbia University. Few college libraries can afford to buy enough copies of materials essential for the English History course.

[34] EUROPE SINCE 1815 by Preston Slosson, University of Michigan A Professor Slosson's Europe Since 1815, is a skillful brilliant integration of the political, social, economic and intel lectual forces that went into the making of Europe as new it is today. Each section is preceded by illustrations of personalities and events of the period and the text itself text is liberally supplemented by maps. Designed for the one-semester course in Europe Since 1815, the critical bibliography 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 be welcomed by students and teachers alike. Robert R. Rea, University of Indiana 647 pages $6.00

A HISTORY OF ENGLAND by , Wayne University A This is a dramatic presentation of English history widely written in a fluent and lively style. The vast body of available material has been gleaned with perspective, used judgment and scholarship to create a balanced text for the undergraduate student seeking an understanding of favorite those forces which shaped and guide contemporary England. A History of England is, in my opinion, more than a college textbook. It is a thoughtful guide to the main prob lems in the evolution of the English state. While the narra tive is detailed to the point of furnishing reference ma terial, the perspective is never obscured and the judgments seem to me to be sound. Dr. James T. Shotwell 877 pages $5.50

[44] An important new basic text World Civilizations By EDWARD McNALL BURNS, Rutgers University and PHILIP L. RALPH, Lake Erie College Stemming from and enlarging on Professor Bums' highly successful Western Civiliza tions, 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 of each 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 Com monwealth of Nations have each received thorough treatment. The threads of historical narrative have been skillfully interwoven to show the contributions of each successive culture to civilization as a whole and to point up the increasingly important roles played by Asia and the Americas in the present age. All the maps in World Civilizations have been especially prepared to supplement the written text. In addition, the two volumes are profusely illustrated with half tones, line-cuts, chronological tables, and other auxiliaries. Publication in February, 1955 An extensive revision of a leading textbook The American Constitution By ALFRED H. KELLY and WINFRED A. HARBISON Wayne University This is a revised and expanded edition of a book which has already established itself as the foremost text in the field of American Constitutional history. All the recent Constitutional changes and pressing issues of the contemporary period are exten sively treated in this new edition. The chapter on civil liberties has been revised to include discussion of the latest developments in such areas as racial segregation and trials of Communists. Two entirely new chapters, "The Constitution and the Second World War," and "The Constitution in an Age of Crisis," expand on this theme, dealing clearly and cogently with such vital issues as the federal loyalty program, anti-Communist activities, proposed treaty-power limitations. Congres sional investigations, and national security in the "Cold War." In addition, numer ous changes have been made in earlier chapters which bring the subject matter into line with recent developments and the latest historical research. The list of selected readings and the table of cases have been revised, expanded, and brought up to date. Publication in February, 1955

PRELUDE TO POINT FOUR American Technical Missions Overseas, 1838—1938 By Merle Curti and Kendall Birr

Wisely administered, a foreign assistance program can become a force for good in the future of many nations; poorly managed it can do irreparable harm to American prestige throughout the rest of the world. The authors of this book have made a survey and interpretation of American experience with technical aid abroad, from 1838 to 1938. The scope of these missions varied all the way from simple surveys to complex attempts to remake whole societies. Present day policy makers may well ponder the conclusions inevitable in this study. 296 pages. $5.00

THE STORY OF MARCUS GARVEY AND THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION By E. David Cronon Born in Jamaica, in 1887, Marcus Garvey came to the United States in 1916. This young Negro Moses enrolled thousands of American and West Indian Negroes in his Universal Negro Improvement Association and promulgated his philosophy of racial self-help throughout the world. Although Garvey achieved little in the way of permanent eco nomic improvement for his people, he helped to point out the fires of social discontent that smolder in the Negro world. By stimulating race pride he left a legacy of Negro nationalism that is very much a part of the contemporary scene. To be published Spring 1955. 290 pages. $6.00
