Review:

The collection's scope is impressive, and the essays are beautifully written yet quite accessible. This volume will no doubt serve to make history come alive both for students and the general public. Highly recommended. All public and undergraduate collections. (S. L. Hoglund, SUNY at Stony Brook CHOICE)

Students will find these essays about notable persons an invaluable means of relating to an issue or idea on a individual level, which then allows them to approach larger concepts with greater understanding. The Human Tradition in Modern Britain will be very useful in classes as the basis for lively discussions. (Margaret Minor, Nicholls State University)
