This series provides seven original; through; and well-balanced volumes for courses in European history from the Renaissance to the present.The individual volumes interlock to form a continuous narrative; but each volume also stands alone as a distinctive study of a major period of European history. Emphasis is placed on trends rather than isolated facts and on meaning and process in history. Where standard views are dated or inadequate; the authors do not hesitate to advance fresh interpretations. the result is history on a broad scale that measures up to the demands of current scholarship.The Volumes in the Norton History of Modern Europe are striking in the quality of their illustrations and maps. New Sources have been drawn upon for engravings and halftones from contemporary documents and works of art; unusually clear maps have been prepared by the cartographer Harold K. Faye.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Robert E. Lee pictorialBy Christopher J. DabrowskiThis Emory Thomas pictorial of Robet E. Lee is culled from loaned photographs from the Lee family archives and more. I highly reccomend this pictorial essay from Emory Thomas to anyone with a keen interest of Lee. It is a perfect bedside reading companion to Dr. Thomas's earlier masterpiece on Lee and his character/life. For those who never had to chance to study under Regent Proffessor Emory Thomas- Emeritus at the University of Georgia or hear one of his lectures on Lee's final days;it is required reading for you. You will find it as a great investment of your time and money from cover to cover.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Robert E. Lee in PicturesBy Chris J DabrowskiWithout a doubt I have been a diehard fan of Emory Thomas since I attended one of his guest lectures promoting the highly acclaimed biography on the man and soldier Robert E. Lee. His words on the death of LEE were most memorable.His recent pictorial essay embodied in this new publication chroniclizes Lee throughout his lifetime in vintage photographs. When I met Lee's great grand daughter Anne Carter Zimmer; I realized that some rather poignant pictures existed; but this book supports the fact.This book should be purchased as a bedtime companion to Thomas's brilliant biography of the icon we know as Lee. The layout and selection of photographs in this publication truly satisfy one's soul in meditative reflection. Don't miss.
