Europe in the Modern World : a new narrative history, since 1500

Edward Berenson (Author), Catherine Johnson (Author), Katharine Beals (Author)
"The book is an unusually engaging narrative history of Europe since 1500 ... highlights the major episodes of the European past and vividly connects those episodes to major international events. Each chapter opens with a compelling biographical sketch--from Toussaint Louverture to Leni Riefenstahl--that gives the book's ideas a vibrant, human face, while 'Writing History' exercises at the end of each chapter offer students step-by-step guidance toward effective, polished prose. Taken together, the end-of-chapter exercises constitute a powerful expository writing program unique to this book."--Provided by publisher
