Reviews
"Europe in the Modern World is a Western Civilization textbook for the twenty-first century, breathing new life into a genre that has become stale and sometimes irrelevant. The book combines compelling storytelling, structure, and a means for teaching history and effective writing at the same time. I've never seen a textbook that does this in a quarter century of teaching history surveys at the university level."--Paul Lockhart, Wright StateUniversity"Berenson has pulled off an impressive feat in telling the story and explaining the significance of modern European history clearly, comprehensively, and concisely. Students will be drawn into each chapter by reading introductory vignettes about historical figures whose lives encapsulate the main themes of the period. Instructors and students alike will also find the self-directed writing exercises included at the end of each chapter to be an invaluable meansof enhancing writing and thinking skills."--Geoffrey Clark, The State University of New York at Potsdam"In the textbook market, there is a dearth of good, usable textbooks on European history from 1500 to the present. Edward Berenson has written one of the best--if not the best--textbook available today. It belongs on everyone's bookshelf, from freshmen in college to seasoned professors."--Ben Sorensen, Cape Fear Community College"Europe in the Modern World is an innovative textbook that combines a compelling narrative with a rigorous step-by-step guide to historical writing. Its global framework is a much-needed alternative to traditional approaches to Western Civilization. Teachers and students will appreciate the effective integration of historical content and practical exercises."--Ute Chamberlin, Western Illinois University, "Europe in the Modern World is a Western Civilization textbook for the twenty-first century, breathing new life into a genre that has become stale and sometimes irrelevant.
