In "Famous Men of Modern Times," author John Haaren introduces the
birth of the modern era Readers will meet the men responsible for
shaping our recent foundations---such as Lorenzo de Medici,
Christopher Columbus, Galileo, Newton, Napoleon, Gladstone, and
George Washington---and experience the adventurous times through
their eyes. With detailed black-and-white artwork and vibrant color
illustrations, this easy-to-understand text correlates history with
reading for an all-encompassing study. Haaren, who also wrote
"Famous Men of Greece," "Famous Men of Rome," and "Famous Men of
the Middle Ages," was an American educator and historian. Haaren's
father was German and his mother Irish. He studied under Prof. N.
M. Butler at Columbia University, 1889-91, before becoming a
teacher in New York. In 1907 he became Associate Superintendent of
Schools in New York, increasing the number and efficiency of
kindergartens and starting classes to teach English to foreigners.
He was president of the department of pedagogy in the Brooklyn
Institute. Haaren High School (which was located on 10th Avenue
between 58th and 59th Streets in Manhattan) was named in his honor.
The Charles B. J. Snyder-designed school which was initially DeWitt
Clinton High School is now Haaren Hall on the campus of the John
Jay College of Criminal Justice.
