Historians and teacher educators nationwide are now engaged in
discussions about the importance of history teacher preparation.
Interest within the history profession about the teaching of K-12
history has increased significantly during the past two decades,
particularly since the controversy over the National Standards for
History's publication. This attention is evident not only in the
historical professions' various publications, but also in the
federal government's multi-million dollar Teaching American History
Program and the No Child Left Behind Act. Professional historians
are increasingly committed to improving the teaching of history at
the K-12 level through many forms of collaboration. History
Education 101's thirteen essays are organized into three sections:
context, practice, and new directions. The essays' contributors,
tenured faculty who teach history teaching methods courses in
colleges and universities throughout the United States, focus on
how history education has, is, and will be taught to new K-12
teachers throughout the United States.Perhaps more than ever, it is
critical for Americans to understand the role of higher education
in the preparation of future middle and high school history
teachers. This book provides important insights for academics in
history and education departments as well as other individuals who
are concerned with the status and improvement of history teaching
in the schools, particularly current and future elementary and
secondary teachers and administrators.
Designed for secondary school and college student research, this
work is a readable history and ready-reference guide to the
Holocaust based on the most recent scholarship. It provides the
reader with an overview of Nazi Germany's attempt to exterminate
world Jewry. Fischel, a leading authority on the Holocaust,
combines narrative description, analytical essays, a timeline of
events, lengthy biographical profiles, and the text of key primary
documents relating to the Nazi plan for the "Final Solution" to
help students gain a comprehensive understanding of the causative
factors and major events and personalities that shaped the Nazi
genocide. A glossary of key terms, selected tables, and an
annotated bibliography of recommended further reading will aid
student research. Topical essays designed for the student and
general reader provide an accessible historical overview and
analysis of Hitler and the Jews, the racial state, genocide, the
"Final Solution," and resistance to the Nazis. Fischel explains the
factors that led to the Holocaust, the implementation of the
decision to exterminate the Jews, the response of the free world
and the Papacy, the role of "righteous gentiles" who risked their
lives to save Jews, and the resistance of the Jews to their fate
under the Nazis. Biographical sketches provide valuable information
on the key personalities among both the Nazis and Allies, and the
text of key primary documents brings the Nazis blatant plan for
genocide to stark reality. In providing valuable information,
analysis, and ready-reference features, this work is a one-stop
resource on the Holocaust for students, teachers, library media
specialists, and interested readers.

This survey of European history covers a period of one and a half
centuries which witnessed the beginnings of the contemporary world.
In his account of the economic, social, intellectual, and
governmental structure and development of pre-revolutionary Europe,
the author stresses throughout the importance of economic and
social trends, and places emphasis on the analysis of the structure
of society as well as the narration of events. He shows how the
contradictions of the old order contributed to a crisis which
affected several of the major states in the late eighteenth
century, when the growth of governmental power led to a series of
clashes between governments and governing classes. Out of these
conflicts, particularly in France, arose a revolutionary crisis.
The nature of this crisis, and the impact of the change it
produced, are examined in detail in the final section of the book.
For this second edition, Professor Doyle has revised the text of
the book, and comprehensively updated the Bibliography.
November is Native American Heritage month
Osceola, Cochise, and Tecumseh are three Native American heroes who
fought valiantly for their land and for their people. This book is
divided into three parts--each part recounting the life of one of
these great heroes. Their true stories are emotionally gripping and
tragic, and Ann McGovern handles delicate topics, such as violence
and racism, expertly for young readers. The narrative text is
supplemented by black-and-white original source materials
throughout (i.e. photographs, maps, portraits, a newspaper
article).
This new adaptation of Dee Brown's multimillion-copy bestseller,
"Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," is filled with photographs and
maps to bring alive the tragic saga of Native Americans for
middle-grade readers. Focusing on the Sioux nation as
representative of the entire Native American story, this
meticulously researched account allows the great chiefs and
warriors to speak for themselves about what happened to the Sioux
from 1860 to the Massacre of Wounded Knee in 1891. This dramatic
story is essential reading for every student of U.S. history.
