This decade by decade review charts the most significant historical, social, political, and cultural moments of the last 100 years and places each event, person, movement, and idea in context. Brought to you by a superb selection of international historians, journalists and experts, and beautifully illustrated throughout with more than 350 archival images, it’s an invaluable reference that no school or home library should be without.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="7c0aa070.jpg" border=0 width="170" height="263" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="1" VSPACE="0"><FONT SIZE="6" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Calibri" ><I><B>The Indian Mutiny</B></I></FONT></div> <div> With India's current role in world politics and their precarious relationship with Pakistan, this is a must read for today's social studies teachers.  By 1857, the British East India Company was India’s de facto ruler, having won the subcontinent by subterfuge and force of arms. Discontent was rising however, and in the following spring, entire regiments of Indian troops turned on their British overlords and challenged the global trading powerhouse in open warfare. The brutal struggle that followed would forever break the Company’s hold on India, and send shock waves reverberating across the British Empire. This sweeping, true-life drama combines powerful eyewitness accounts and painstaking historical investigation to present an intimate portrait of the British troops and the Sikhs, Gurkhas, and Afghans who fought alongside them, often against terrible odds. This is living history that reads like the finest action-adventure story!</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="7c195e00.jpg" border=0 width="149" height="224" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="1" VSPACE="0"><FONT SIZE="6" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Calibri" ><I><B>Commandant of Auschwitz</B></I></FONT></div> <div> When looking at World War II in classes of U.S. History, this book can be an excellent resource.  A self-portrait, composed by one of the greatest monsters of all time: Rudolf Hoess, the Commandant at Auschwitz, and the man who knew more than almost anyone about how Nazi Germany implemented the Final Solution. Captured by the British after the war, tried, and sentenced to death, he was ordered to write his autobiography in the weeks between his trial and his execution (which fittingly took place in Auschwitz itself). Hoess apparently enjoyed the task, and the most careful checking by researchers showed he took great pains to tell the truth. The result: a vivid and unforgettable picture of the 20th century's defining and most horrific event.<FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Calibri" > </FONT><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Calibri" ><I>Royalties from this book go to the fund to help the few survivors of Auschwitz. </I></FONT></div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="7c2f6550.gif" border=0 width="246" height="85" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.sterlingpublishing.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.sterlingpublishing.com"><U>www.sterlingpublishing.com</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id22_m.htm" TITLE="Books for Teachers"><U>Back to Top</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0550b120.png" border=0 width="11" height="18" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Calibri" ><B><IMG SRC="6aea0f20.jpg" border=0 width="160" height="242" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="1" VSPACE="0"></B></FONT><I><B>Gettysbu</B></I><I><B>rg</B></I></div> <div> A skillfully woven tapestry, rich in gripping detail and with vivid descriptions of the greatest of all of the Civil War battles.<B>  </B>Gettysburg was a momentous three-day battle that became the turning point of the war.  Sears tells the whole story of the campaign, the big picture, the generals, the individual battles, the daily lives ot the soldiers, in a single volume. From the first gleam in Lee’s eye to the last Rebel hightailing it back across the Potomac, every moment of the battle is brought to life with the vivid narrative skill and impeccable scholarship that has made Stephen Sears’s other histories so successful. Based on years of research, this is the first book in a generation that brings everything together, sorts it all out, makes informed judgments, and takes stands.  Even the most knowledgeable of Civil War buffs will find fascinating new material and new interpretations, and Sears’s famously accessible style will make the book just as appealing to the general reader.  It is replete with 544 pages and 67 black and white illustrations.  This is the one book on Gettysburg that should be available to all middle school and secondary students and to teachers of American history.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B><IMG SRC="6b145350.png" border=0 width="581" height="53" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com"><U>www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id22_m.htm" TITLE="Books for Teachers"><U>Back to Top</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="0550b120.png" border=0 width="11" height="18" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="7056ca20.gif" border=0 width="108" height="162" ALIGN="LEFT" HSPACE="1" VSPACE="0"><FONT SIZE="6" COLOR="#FFCC33" FACE="Calibri" ><I><B>Handbook for Teaching</B></I></FONT></div> <div> <I><B>Secondary School Social Studies</B></I><I><B> </B></I></div> <div> Globalization, technological advances, and demographic shifts have changed our economy. It is imperative that we understand the fundamental shifts in an economic situation so new that we can barely comprehend it, and yet we must devise new ways of educating our high school students to succeed in this new economy. In the twenty-?rst century, our high schools are increasingly challenged to provide young people with new skills that are different from those around which we have organized our educational system in the past.</div> <div> The <I>Handbook for Teaching Secondary School Social Studies</I> is a guide, a tool, and a reference for pre-service and in-service teachers, clarifying the most effective ways to teach social studies in secondary school classrooms. Its intention is to help teachers become creative practitioners who can motivate students, create stimulating learning environments, and bring the core disciplines of social studies to life. Its goal, in effect, is to help teachers make social scientists of their students. The information contained in this book will enable teachers to become the catalyst for students’ transformation into cognizant, con?dent citizens capable of making a difference in our world.</div> <div> The handbook is brief and manageable, yet it provides pre-service and in-service teachers with comprehensive and in-depth coverage of research-based pedagogy, planning skills, standards-based instructional delivery approaches, and grade-level expectations for the core disciplines of the social studies.</div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="707d0380.jpg" border=0
