The End of the European Era: 1890 to the Present, Fifth Edition

2 reviews
Felix Gilbert, David C. Large

W. W. Norton, 2002

An excellent survey of the recent past.
Felix Gilbert gives, I believe, an excellent account of the major historical events that affected Europe from toward the end of the 19th century to the present (which at the time of writing was the 1970s). What was very helpful was the sensible groupings of chapters which gives at a quick glance the major content of the book (sure this is not novel but unfortunately some history books are not ...

Much more than just a still-life
This is the catalogue for the current Morandi exhibition at the Met in NYC.

2 reviews
Philip Katcher

Osprey Publishing, 1990

Another fine overview ! (007)
I freely admit to not having much of a knowledge of the US Army, especially before and during WWI, and found this book immensly valuable. Philip Katcher and Gordon Rottman have done a great job for both the casual and dedicated reader of this field, and Jeffrey Burn and Ron Volstadt once again provide some excellent colour panels. The authors take you from the era of naval pre-eminence that ...

Robert M. Utley

University of New Mexico Press, 2003

Engrossing Narrative on the Indian-White Man Conflict`
This book is written largely from the perspective of the Indians of the American West but Utley does a good job of including insight into why the white man acted the way they did. His conclusion at the end of the book is "Given who these people were (the whites), what they knew, and what they believed, it is difficult to see how they might have behaved differently enough to have brought about ...

Barry Bergdoll

Oxford University Press, USA, 2000

History of architecture
this book must be read with Modern Architecture by Oxford in order to understand the history of architecture.
