151 ANNOUNCING another outstanding contribution to the study of American history hy the author of The Stream of American History. . . Recent American History Leland D. Baldwin, University of Pittsburgh
In this readable new book, Dr. Baldwin concentrates upon the political, social, economic, and cultural picture of the United States as it has de veloped from the end of World War I to the armistice in Korea. He treats world conditions rather fully to help the student make a fair appraisal of this country in relation to other countries. The student is made especially aware of the backgrounds for actual and potential racial, cultural, economic, and political conflict, not only in Europe, but in Latin America and Asia as well. The book is written in the same lively and vivid style that delights students using The Stream of American History. There are 29 charts,56 maps, and 44 cartoons to supplement the text. The Stream of American History Volume One • Volume Two Leland D. Baldwin, University of Pittsburgh
"It is an excellent text, rich not only in the major facts, but also in much of the incidentals on which the accounts of the development must rest, though often omitted from smaller general histories. The wealth of maps, charts, and cartoons adds to the clarity of the presentation." Mark Mohler, Skidmore College

[40] Announcing for January publication The New, Revised Tourth Edition of Western Civilizations Their History & Their Culture By EDWARD McNALL BURNS
The new fourth edition of this widely-used basic text {^resents a thoroughgoing reorganization, revision, and revaluation of ma terials throughout the book. It has been prepared in response to detailed suggestions and recommendations of history instructors who have used it with enthusiasm but who have recognized that certain changes in emphasis, coverage, and organization would make it an even more valuable text. Here are some of the new features of the fourth edition: •a complete new chapter on primitive cultures incorporating the hitest authoritative findings of historical and anthropo logical research. •an expanded treatment of the medieval period. •a new chapter dealing with political and institutional develop ment in the United States. •a complete reorganization of the material on Occidental civili zation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. •a new, final chapter on contemporary culture bringing the coverage completely up to date. •new maps, new illustrations, and brief chronological summaries in tabular form. In preparing this new edition of Western Civilixations Professor Bums has held strictly to his original purpose—to include in a single comparatively short volume a unified and readable account of the development of our civilization from the primitive cultures to the present. Even with the expanded coverage of the fourth edition the text is briefer and less encyclopedic than most. Yet every important period is treated clearly and with sufficient fullness to bring home Its significance to the student. Examination copies sent on request W. W.

HISTORY OF THE AMERICAS. VOLUMES I and II By The Rev. John Francis Bannon, S.J., St. Louis University. Two exceptional volumes which represent a simple, clear, and skillfully or ganized account of the history of the nations of the Western Hemisphere since discovery. Both volumes reflect Father Bannon's conviction that the history of the nations of the "New World" is an integral part of the broader story of Western Civilization and should be treated as such. Volume I. (582 pages, $5.50) carries the story through the imperial period to nationhood. Volume II. (568 pages, $5.50) completes the narrative of the development of the American countries to the present. Emphasis is again on the "family relationship" between Europe and the West, showing that the various revo lutions broke merely political ties, while economic and cultural bonds con tinued strong.
