In this classic work by one of America's most distinguished historians; Daniel Boorstin enters into Thomas Jefferson's world of ideas. By analysing writings of 'the Jeffersonian Circle;' Boorstin explores concepts of God; nature; equality; toleration; education and government in order to illuminate their underlying world view. The Lost World of Thomas Jefferson demonstrates why on the 250th anniversary of his birth; this American leader's message has remained relevant to our national crises and grand concerns."The volume is too subtle; too rich in ideas for anyone to do justice to it in brief summary; too heavily documented and too carefully wrought for anyone to dismiss its thesis. . . . It is a major contribution not only to Jefferson studies but to American intellectual history. . . . All who work in the history of ideas will find themselves in Mr. Boorstin's debt."—Richard Hofstadter; South Atlantic Monthly

Would most definitely purchase books from in the future for classes.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Thoroughly mediocre history textbook probably more suited for high school than college.By MyLossIsYourGainMaterial is overly condensed and dry. The professor has to dig up additional reading and cover material not in the book to give a better picture of what was going on in the 1000-1815 time period. At least it's way cheaper than the newest edition (I got mine for something like $2-4; plus $2-4 shipping... the new one at the bookstore was around $80-90).0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerEasy to understand with great supplemental articles and facts in the chapters for context and background knowledge.
