HI, I just wanted to clarify....this book is a HISTORY book, not a genealogy book. Noted historian Arthur Schlesinger says on the back of the book, "Mr. Boorstin's focus in this impressive essay in intellectual history is the interplay between ideas and institution. Using this as his perspective, he offers a fresh and arresting reading of the colonial experience." But as someone who believes that "history" is really just "HIS STORY"-- it's therefore, imperative to read a lot of historical records and books to understand and form one's *own* opinion of the times. This book contributes a bit to that understanding. regards, Maureen ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
