Leon Fink, Thomas Paterson

Wadsworth Publishing, 2000

An Important Book for any Student of History
Leon Fink brings together primary and secondary sources that all but force the reader to determine the actual goings on for himself. There is distinctly absent an editorial interpretation of events or topics covered in this work, which makes it an absolute necessity for future history text writers at the primary or secondary level. They may take an important lesson from the structure and function ...

Major Problems in American Sport History (Major Problems in American History Series)

Steven Riess, Thomas Paterson

Wadsworth Publishing, 1996

Gives legitimacy to the study of American sports
First a word about the "Major Problems" line: it is designed to be a text in college history courses. Each chapter is divided into two parts: 1) Primary sources 2) Two or three scholarly articles (usually written by an expert in the field). Each source or article is designed to act as a springboard for classroom discussion lead by the professor. In all, I like the format of the line of ...

highly recommend
This is a very well-done bible story book, one of the best i've seen. The illustrations are gorgeous, and make an attempt to be accurate - eg the Israelites are camped in twelve tribes, three on each side of the tent of meeting, there are assyrian-inspired motifs under the assumption that these would have influenced the Moabites, etc. The retelling follows fairly closely the account in Numbers, ...

Invaluable Resource
Whether you are an attorney or simply a student of Constitutional Law, this book is perhaps the most valuable resource you could ever add to your library. Professor Hall has assembled a barrage of land mark cases and their effects on America. The book is broken into 12 chapters, each covering different subject matter from Civil Liberties to Women's Rights. Each chapter supplies the reader with ...

Major Problems In American Colonial History: Documents and Essays

Karen Ordahl Kupperman, Thomas Paterson

Wadsworth Publishing, 1999

Good Primary Source
This book was great about illustrating themes of American Colonial History. Used in an Upper Division History course, although not difficult enough to warrant not assigning it to a lower-division American History course. Recommended.

Wadsworth Publishing, 1999

Good Beginning for Understanding African American History
Thorough, detailed, and not monotonous, this is a book that I would recommend for anyone who wants to learn about African-American history, not hust through the eyes of scholars and professors, but through those who had had direct contact with the changes in African-American society. I would strongly urge those who want to learn more about African-American history to begin right here.

House of Lochar, 1984

The West Highland Railway
The West Highland was a railway within a railway. It existed as a separate company for only nineteen years, including the five years it took to build. Yet the West Highland is still the West Highland. There is nothing else quite like it in Britain. John Thomas is a real Scottish enthusiast with a gift for writing, an ability to communicate his enthusiasm and to mirror every aspect of the ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 1994

A look at Cuban history uncommon in the US.
Contesting Castro is a book crucial to the understanding of the political history of Cuba. The author takes a stance not typical to most written on the subject,one of independence,free of the left-bashing not uncommon when reading of Cuba. Unbaised, well documented, and factually correct, this text offers a view of the events leading to, and during the revloution of 1959, free of any political ...

A Valuable Addition to Any Political Science Library
If you are looking for a quick introduction to the principles and practices of the Libertarian Party, avoid this book; a good search engine and some basic research skills are all you need. If instead you're searching for a deeper understanding of the philosophy of liberty, then I can suggest no better starting point. The book itself is a collection of short essays from a wide range of ...

Colin Gordon, Thomas Paterson

Wadsworth Publishing, 1999

Used as textbook in American History college class
We ordered this as a required textbook for a college course. It is a little "dry" in some areas, but has a good balance. To me it is more geared to the student than the average person, but then a history afficianado would probably like it also.

Excellent reference source!
I used this textbook as a junior in high school and recently purchased a later edition. Although the wonderful charts plotting the states and electoral numbers of the Presidential elections are long gone it is still a great reference book on our nations history.

Major Problems in the Civil War and Reconstruction (Major Problems in American History Series)

5 reviews
Michael Perman, Thomas Paterson

Wadsworth Publishing, 1998

Primary Sources for the Civil War
This book deserves 5 stars for drawing together a large, diverse group of primary source documents, and related articles by noted historians. The book helps to explain why the North and the South were so far apart, before, during, and after the Civil War. If Michael Perman had written this book, instead of editing and commenting on the source documents, the rating would be lower, because the ...

American Foreign Relation (New Ways to Know)

Thomas G. Paterson, J. Garry Clifford, ...

Houghton Mifflin Company, 1999

Good Historical View
This book brings some of the items one read about in history classes to a more 'back channel' perspective. Monroe Doctrine and the like are the opening situations, and instead of 'we put a blockade on German ship' it goes it to some of the things that happened to stop a war from breaking out.
