A History of Man's Search to Know His World and Himself

Perhaps the greatest book by 1 of our greatest historians, Discoverers is a volume of sweeping range & majestic interpretation. To call it a history of science is an understatement; this is the story of how humankind has come to know the world, however incompletely, ("the eternal mystery of the world," Einstein once said, "is its comprehensibility"). Boorstin first describes the liberating concept of time- “the first grand discovery" & continues through the age of exploration & the advent of the natural & social sciences. The approach is idiosyncratic, with Boorstin lingering over particular figures & accomplishments rather than rushing on to the next set of names & dates. It's also primarily Western, although Boorstin does ask & answer several interesting questions: Why didn't the Chinese "discover" Europe & America? Why didn't the Arabs circumnavigate the planet?

Leading historians on the events that shaped our country

Book notes stories from American history

The First American. Frontiersman and backwoods attorney. Teller of bawdy tales and a spellbinding orator. A champion of liberty some called a would-be tyrant. Savior of the Union and the Great Emancipator. All these are Abraham Lincoln,in his time America's most admired and reviled leader, and still our nation's most enigmatic and captivating hero.Timed to complement the new motion picture Lincoln , directed by Steven Spielberg, Lincoln: A President for the Ages introduces a new Lincoln grappling with some of history's greatest challenges. Would Lincoln have dropped the bomb on Hiroshima? How would he conduct the War on Terror? Would he favour women's suffrage or gay rights? Would today's Lincoln be a star on Facebook and Twitter? Would he embrace the religious right,or denounce it?The answers come from an All-Star array of historians and scholars, including Jean Baker, Richard Carwardine, Dan Farber, Andrew Ferguson, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Allen C. Guelzo, Harold Holzer, James Malanow

The United States in World War I 
The Story of General John J. Pershing and the American Expeditionary Forces 
by Don Lawson
illustrated with photographs and maps by Robert Standley 

paperback in used condition

"This book tells the story of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I. It is important for the reader to remember that the other Allies had been engaged in this conflict for more than two and a half years before America's entry. Each life is a small miracle. Thus it is not wholly fitting to say that one nation lost "only" so many men as compared with another nation's far greater losses. Nevertheless it is true that the United States has about 50,000 men killed, while Great Britain and France, for example, counted their dead in the millions. Most historians agree, however, that the A.E.F. turned the tide of battle from stalemate and possible defeat into Allied victory on the Western Front."

One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one—homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us?

Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

The Venus Fixers: The Remarkable Story of the Allied Soldiers Who Saved Italy's Art During World War II
By: Ilaria Dagnini Brey
Hardback
1st Edition, Second Printing
Dust Jacket

Good condition. Has some pencil markings but no major flaws. Ships securely.

In 1943, with the world convulsed by war and a Fascist defeat in Europe far from certain, a few visionaries—civilians and soldiers alike—saw past questions of life and death to realize that victory wasn’t the only thing at stake. So was the priceless cultural heritage of thousands of years.

In the midst of the conflict, the Allied Forces appointed the monuments officers—a motley group of art historians, curators, architects, and artists—to ensure that the great masterworks of European art and architecture were not looted or bombed into oblivion. The journalist Ilaria Dagnini Brey focuses her spellbinding account on the monuments officers of Italy, quickly dubbed “the Venus Fixers” by bemused troops.

Pioneers of Modern Design 
by Nikolaus Pevsner 

paperback in used condition

"Moving from William Morris to Walter Gropius, taking in artists and architects from Britain, Europe and the USA, the author shows how the foundation of the best that remains today was laid by a small group of people who thought and taught as well as designed. First published in 1936 and twice revised since then, this survey explores a period of major, exciting transition away from stale Victorian historicism to the 20th century and our modern machine age."

From Reliable Sources is a lively introduction to historical methodology, an overview of the techniques historians must master in order to reconstruct the past. Its focus on the basics of source criticism, rather than on how to find references or on the process of writing, makes it an invaluable guide for all students of history and for anyone who must extract meaning from written and unwritten sources.

Martha Howell and Walter Prevenier explore the methods employed by historians to establish the reliability of materials; how they choose, authenticate, decode, compare, and, finally, interpret those sources. Illustrating their discussion with examples from the distant past as well as more contemporary events, they pay particular attention to recent information media, such as television, film, and videotape.

The Truth About European Colonialism in the New World.  New Condition Synopsis "A renowned historian debunks current distortion and myths about European colonialism in the New World and restores much needed balance to our understanding of the past.
Was America really “stolen” from the Indians? Was Columbus a racist? Were Indians really peace-loving, communistic environmentalists? Did Europeans commit “genocide” in the New World?
It seems that almost everyone—from CNN to the New York Times to angry students pulling down statues of our founders—believes that America’s history is a shameful tale of racism, exploitation, and cruelty.
In Not Stolen, renowned historian Jeff Fynn-Paul systematically dismantles this relentlessly negative view of U.S. history, arguing that it is based on shoddy methods, misinformation, and outright lies about the past.
America was not “stolen” from the Indians but fairly purchased piece by piece in a thriving land market. Nor did European settlers cheat, st
