Tiny Font SizeBy Ms. OptimisticI ordered this version of The Story of Mankind for one of my high school students. The words are extremely small and difficult to read, even for my students. Because the version that I purchased for myself is sold out, I am forced to keep this copy. I will allow my student to use my copy and try my best to read from this book. I certainly wouldn't recommend this version to anyone.29 of 29 people found the following review helpful. No EditingBy L. WilsonI just bought this book to use as a portion of our homeschool history curricullum. However this versionof the book (ISBN-13: 978-1153721998) also has little or no editing. There are whole sentences missing and some sentences stop mid line then continued on the next line. We can't make sense of it so I have purchaed an original text with illustrations. Hopefully it won't contain these errors and I can write an actual review on the material in the book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not a finished productBy AgustinThe book I received looks more like a preprint draft rather than a complete product. Editing needs more work and there is absolutelly no ilustrations even thought these are refered in the text. Read the reviews below that gave this text a low rate and you will know what it is. Unfortunatelly for me I tend to read the high rate reviews and ignore the rest, in this case I regret of such custom . The Story of Mankind by Hendrik Willem van Loon was the first book to be awarded the Newbery Medal for an outstanding contribution to children's literature. Written for his grandchildren, The Story of Mankind intermingles personal anecdotes with the history of Western civilization, covering the development of writing, art, and architecture, the rise of major religions, and the formation of the modern nation-state. Van Loon explains that he selected what to and what not to include by asking the question: Did the person or event in question perform an act without which the entire history of civilization would have been different? Well written, informative, and vastly entreating. .com Anyone who can chronicle world history from 500,000 B.C. to present times--and do so in a lively, entertaining style--deserves a medal. Luckily, the bestowers of the very first Newbery Medal in 1922 thought so, too. The warm, personable tone of Hendrik Willem van Loon's writing lends itself to true learning in a way that stern, dry textbooks never do. In the introduction, he describes climbing a tower in Rotterdam in his youth. Years later, the perspective at the top inspired the author to develop a metaphor of history as a "mighty Tower of Experience, which Time has built amidst the endless fields of bygone ages." This genuinely enjoyable charmer, for history buffs and the historically challenged alike, covers human history from prehistoric times, when our earliest ancestors were learning to communicate with grunts, right through to the issues of the latter 20th century: gay rights, Arab-Israeli conflicts, and health and fitness. Revised and updated several times since 1921, van Loon's inviting classic is filled with stories (and witty parenthetical asides) that bring history alive. His pen-and-ink illustrations, maps, and animated chronology contribute to the cozy, round the fireplace aspect of the book. (Ages 12 and older) --Emilie Coulter The Story of Mankind ...remains a marvel: a sparkling, erudite, idiosyncratic tour through the human experience from the mists of prehistory to the smoking aftermath of World War I. In van Loon's charming, virtuosic pages we meet scoundrels and ruffians and poets; we engage with Pericles, Mohammed and Metternich, Confucius and Savonarola and Voltaire; we stand amazed anew before Egyptian hieroglyphs, Gothic arches, Florentine frescoes and the steam engine. Ninety-two years on, modern accretions and all, what a pageant this charming narrator continues to offer us! --Meghan GurdonThe Story of Mankind remains a marvel: a sparkling, erudite, idiosyncratic tour through the human experience from the mists of prehistory to the smoking aftermath of World War I.

SCHENKER’S FIRST “AMERICANIZATION”: GEORGE WEDGE, THE INSTITUTE OF MUSICAL ART, AND THE “APPRECIATION RACKET” DAVID CARSON BERRY quarter of a century ago, William Rothstein first employed a now common phrase when A he spoke of the “Americanization of Schenker”—that is, the accommodation that had to be made to bring Schenker’s ideas into the American academy, a process that involved ex- punging (or at least reconstituting) “those elements of Schenker’s thought [that clashed] most spectacularly with the American mind.”1 Rothstein focused mainly on émigrés displaced by the Second World War (e.g., Oswald Jonas, Ernst Oster, and Felix Salzer), and on Americans a generation younger (e.g., Milton Babbitt and Allen Forte).

  • Good Books About History, 2011-12
    Good Books about History, 2011-12 Reviews by members of the OLLI-GMU History Club Compiled by Tom Hady Compiler’s Note: With our decision a couple of years ago to include historical fiction, the question of what to call “history” has become more difficult. I view my role as limited. I compile the reviews and I edit for readability and format. I will occasionally ask a contributor whether this belongs in a history compilation, but I accept their conclusion-TFH. Davod Abulafia, The Great Sea: A Human History of the Mediterranean (2011), reviewed by Tom Hady This is a history of the Mediterranean basin from before antiquity to the present in one (albeit thick) book. A good one, too. Abulafia is Professor of Mediterranean History at Cambridge and knows the subject. If you are like me, you will want to read fairly rapidly for a while, and then you’ll suddenly find clues to things you had wondered about, and you’ll savor the details. I wish I’d read this book before some of our travels in the area--but then again, I read it now with greater understanding because I had travelled there. Roy Adkins and Lesley Adkins , The War for All the Oceans (2006), reviewed by Don Ferrett. This year marks the bicentennial of the War of 1812. Those of us who got most of their American history education in the public schools learned that that was the war against the British, who wouldn’t leave our commercial shipping alone and impressed our sailors. It was also the war when the White House was burned and Andrew Jackson became a hero at the Battle of New Orleans.

    De Hendrik Willem van Loon hardzeildagen ofwel: "Het zeilfeest der Arnemuider visschers" Henk J. Licher , Stichting Behoud Hoogaars, 2010 De Hendrik Willem van Loon Hardzeildagen, ofwel "Het zeilfeest der Arnemuider visschers" Deze uitgave van de Stichting Behoud Hoogaars (SBH) ter gelegenheid van de Van Loon Zeilrace in juli 2010 te Veere is mede mogelijk gemaakt door de gemeente Veere, in welke gemeente de heer Hendrik Willem van Loon in 1928 de eerste zeilrace van houten Arnemuider vissersschepen (hoogaarzen) initieerde en organiseerde. De eerste prijs een bedrag van 500 zilveren rijksdaalders(!) viel toe aan de ARM 49 van A. Meerman. De 15e en laatste prijs was voor de ARM 29 van W. van Belzen, een houten pollepel overhandigd door de vrouw van de burgemeester. ©H.Licher, 2010, SBH. Op de voorpagina: de prijsuitreiking op het bordes van het Veerse stadhuis, door burgemeester M.G.Buys Ballot in aanwezigheid van de initiatiefnemers Willem Hendrik van Loon en Frits Philips. De Hendrik Willem van Loon Hardzeildagen, ofwel "Het zeilfeest der Arnemuider visschers". Deze zomer zal weer traditiegetrouw de 'Van Loon Hardzeildag' op het Veerse Meer worden gehouden. Afgelopen jaar kreeg deze jaarlijkse wedstrijd een wel heel bijzondere toegift. Op 19 september 2009 bracht namelijk de in Amerika wonende kleinzoon van de stichter en naamgever van deze zeilrace een bezoek aan Veere , de plaats waar zijn grootvader Hendrik Willem van Loon zulke belangrijke jaren van zijn leven heeft doorgebracht. Na een bezoek aan het voorvaderlijk woonhuis, de “Houttuyn” aan de Kaai, bezocht kleinzoon Piet de Schotse Huizen. Daarna beklom hij de toren van het stadhuis om een goed zicht te hebben op het Veerse Meer, waar de door grootvader op touw gezette zeiltocht immers per traditie wordt gehouden.

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST RACIAL, ETHNIC, AND RELIGIOUS GROUPS IN AMERICA 53 V.

Over two hundred sixty- five articles from twenty-six different periodicals, as well as government documents and some of the better-known books concerning American iomiigra- tion were consulted in researching this topic. Most of the information used came directly from periodical literature published between 1919 and 1929. Since a large majority of the anti-foreign sentiment voiced during the twenties was directed against immigrants, the matter of American immi­ gration will receive the major emphasis of this thesis. One unfortunate result of World War I was the severe destruction and suffering inflicted upon civilian populations of Europe and Western Asia. Never before in history had war produced such utter devastation in the domestic and economic lives of so many people and nations.

  • The Story of Utopias by Lewis Mumford with an Introduction by Hendrik Willem Van Loon
    THE STORY OF UTOPIAS BY LEWIS MUMFORD WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HENDRIK WILLEM VAN LOON "A Map of the World that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at. ." NEW YORK: BONI AND LIVERIGHT, INC. ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN 1922 The Story of Utopias By Lewis Mumford. This web edition created and published by Global Grey 2013. GLOBAL GREY NOTHING BUT E-BOOKS TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS INTRODUCTION CHAPTER ONE: How the will-to-utopia causes men to live in two worlds, and how, therefore, we re-read the Story of Utopias—the other half of the Story of Mankind. CHAPTER TWO: How the Greeks lived in a New World, and utopia seemed just round the corner. How Plato, in the Republic, is chiefly concerned with what will hold the ideal city together CHAPTER THREE: How something happened to utopia between Plato and Sir Thomas More; and how utopia was discovered again, along with the New World CHAPTER FOUR: How the new Humanism of the Renascence brings us within sight of Christianopolis; and how we have for the first time a glimpse of a modern utopia CHAPTER FIVE: How Bacon and Campanella, who have a great reputation as utopians, are little better than echoes of the men who went before them CHAPTER SIX: How something happened in the eighteenth century which made men "furiously to think," and how a whole group of utopias sprang out of the upturned soil of industrialism CHAPTER SEVEN: How some utopians have thought that a good community rested at bottom on the right division and use of land; and what sort of communities these land-animals projected CHAPTER EIGHT: How Étienne Cabet dreamed of a new Napoleon called Icar, and a new France called Icaria; and how his utopia, with that which Edward Bellamy shows us in Looking Backward, gives us a hint of what machinery might bring us to if the industrial organization were nationalized CHAPTER NINE: How William Morris and W.
