Education & Teaching Books

This classic history, originally published in 1929, was written by Southern Progressive historian Phillips, who became an esteemed professor of History at Yale University.   Original in material and method, Phillips traced the social and economic history of the South up to 1861.  Immigration, the influence of climate & soil, of religion and race, of the rise of cotton as a staple, of transportation, of the opening of the Southwest, and other factors.  For generations this was an essential read for graduate students in American history and it still repays reading.  Phillips was a product of his time and his racist views have tainted the reputation of his scholarship, but many of his insights have been upheld by subsequent scholars.  Historian C. Vann Woodward provides an Introduction that helps put Phillips and his work into context.  This out of print paperback copy is in very good condition.  The binding is tight and pages clean and unmarked.   Smoke free home.

Allies Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History.

At the same time Adolph Hitler was attempting to take over the western world, his armies were methodically seeking and hoarding the finest art treasures in Europe.
The Fuehrer had begun cataloging the art he planned to collect as well as the art he would destroy: "degenerate" works he despised.
In a race against time, behind enemy lines, often unarmed, a special force of American and British museum directors, curators, art historians, and others, called the Monument Men, risked their lives scouring Europe to prevent the destruction of thousands of years of culture.
Focusing on the eleven-month period between D-Day and V-E Day, this fascinating account follows six Monument Men and their impossible mission to save the world's greatest art from the Nazis. 

Very good condition.
