An extensive discussion of widespread philosophical beliefs.......2004-03-04
The History Of Special Education: From Isolation To Integration by Margret A. Winzer is an astutely presented, coherently organized, and comprehensive discourse of how Western and North American society has regarded, treated, and educated the disabled and mentally retarded from before the eighteenth century down to the modern day. Offering an extensive discussion of widespread philosophical beliefs, scientific learning, the rise and fall of eugenics theory, the evolution of institutions and practices, and so much more, The History Of Special Education is both an excellent study text and a detailed historical resource recommended for anyone seeking to learn more of the background of the special education field -- especially those seeking to enhance their knowledge of a possible career in the field. A seminal 463-page work which includes both a Subject Index and an Author Index, The History Of Special Education is a welcome and highly recommended addition to Education History reference collection.
Superb reference book!.......2001-01-16
This book is one of the best written and researched books on education that I've had the good luck to come across. Winzer did a phenomenol job on what could be a dry subject. She also provides a great bibliography section which can further be used for references and research. I came across this book while doing research on deaf education and eugenics in the U.S. Not only does she have all the information that I had previously seen in books on the eugenics movement, but she provides more details and further references that the other books did not provide. The struggle for educational equality for those with disabilities has been a long, ongoing battle. It is not yet finished, since educational equity is still elusive for those of us with disabilities. The same attitudinal problems which those people of different races have encountered, are even more engrained in society for those with disabilities. The idea of having a disability, whether physical, mental, or emotional and behavioral is still equated with the concept that we are intellectually deficient as well as being less abled in hearing, sight, mobility, etc. Even teachers and professors continue to put educational barriers in front of those with disabilities, and educational ethics has a long way to go for this particular group due to financial and political concerns in school districts and throughout social/political systems in the world. It is only through good educational books such as Winzer has written that we can change the problems that people with disabilities face in education and employment, and equal opportunities. It is of utmost importance that educators of all kinds throughout the universities require that this book be read as part of regular educational requirements. Karen L. Sadler, Science Education, University of Pittsburgh
a masters student at Iowa State University.......1999-11-28
I am working on my thesis on The History of Special Education. I found this book very useful. I was able to locate primary and secondary sources from the complete reference section. The historical detail was very useful. I wish there had been more detail about the twentieth century. I would have liked to have seen more detailed information regarding WWI to present.

Book Description
One of the most dangerous deficits facing transatlantic relations today is not in trade, payments, or military capabilities. It is a deficit in understanding the vital stake Americans and Europeans have developed in the health of their economic relationship. Globalization is happening faster and reaching deeper between Europe and America than between any other two continents. The transatlantic economy generates roughly $3.5 trillion in total commercial sales a year and employs over 12 million workers in mutually "insourced" jobs.
This book maps the increasingly dense web of investment, trade, and jobs that connects Europe's regions to America's states. It traces the impact of NAFTA and EU enlargement on transatlantic economic flows. It tracks intercontinental "connectivity" in the new knowledge economy, and it sets forth areas in which Europe and America continue to be global pathfinders.
In the context of today's debates about globalization and transatlantic drift, this book offers some unanticipated and counterintuitive connections that have important policy implications.

A book to break the mould.......2005-06-11
Dan Hamilton, who used to help run European policy at the U.S. State Department, now directs the Center for Transatlantic Relations in Washington DC, and this book should revolutionize the way Americans think about Europe. Put aside the jokes about the French and the gloom in Germany about the lackluster European economy and the market wobbles about the future of the euro and read this book. The relationship between Europe and the U.S. is not about Iraq or NATO or Russia or the UN or working together for debt relief for the Third World, it is about the way they are becoming a single Transtalantic economy. Daimler takes over Chrysler; British Aerospace and British Petroleum now have more American than British shareholders; Airbus is the second biggest aerospace employer in the US. The key to Hamilton's book, which builds on a report published by his thinktank and written by Joseph Quinlan, is that we have been looking in the wrong place when we try to analyse the Transatlantic economic relationship. It is not to be measured in trade figures, because there is so much more mutual investment that we don't ship goods back and forth - we ship money that builds factories that employ people and make goods. So Transtalantic trade is some $600 billion a year; but add together the sales of US-owned companies in Europe, and European-owned companies in the US, and the real economic relationship is over $3,000 billion a year, and 12 million Europeans and Americans work for one another's companies. This is one interwoven and interdependent economy; Europe and the US are joined at hip, whatever Jacques Chirac of Geioge W Bush may say.
Book Description
"Empire" by Integration is the first comprehensive survey of the American policy towards European integration from 1945 to the present day. Geir Lundestad argues that, unlike other Great Powers, the United States strongly supported the integration of the most important area under its influence: Western Europe. This integration was, however, to take place within an American-dominated Atlantic framework. In the provocative words of the author this was a policy of "empire" by integration. Professor Lundestad takes a clear, chronological approach to the subject, from the beginnings of European integration after the Second World War, the challenge to American policy on European integration by President Charles de Gaulle, and the modified support for European integration in the Nixon-Kissinger years through to the present revived support for European integration under the Clinton administration. "Empire" by Integration provides a succinct, provocative, and highly readable account of this crucial aspect of American-Western European relations. It will be an ideal textbook for use on courses including International Relations, US Modern History, and European Integration.

Ambivalence.......2003-11-26
I read this book for my senior seminar class while studying abroad in Rome. Right now I am of mixed feelings about it. Often I found it to be very dry, and uninspiring. There were times when the book seemed to be just a collection of quotes, followed by strings of names and dates. The author also repeated himself frequently.
However, the book raises important points about the history of American policy towards Europe since World War II. Particulary important in this time of heightened anti-American sentiment is the fact that after WWII the Europeans actually wanted the U.S. to remain in their countries militarily, as only the Americans were in a position to provide security against the Soviets and a possibly aggressive Germany.
I would only recommend this book for those seriously interested in foreign policy. It is not for those with a passing fancy in politics.

Book Description
The US was a dominant actor in the European integration game in the 1950s, although not always formally present at the negotiation table. The Americans promoted integration based on Franco-German reconciliation and sought to prevent the emergence of nationally controlled nuclear weapons in Germany and France and developments toward an independent European "Third Force". Based on material from American, British, French and German archives the book covers the negotiations about the European Defence Community, the Western European Union and Euratom/the Common Market.
Book Description
Citizens of the World examines the business and social strategies of the men who developed the British empire in the eighteenth century. This book focuses on twenty-three London merchants who traded with America in an age of imperial expansion. These "associates" started their careers as marginal people, sought and took advantage of opportunities around the world, and approached their business and social lives with the improving ideals of the practical Enlightenment. This activity is placed in the context of the developing institutions of Britain's colonies in America and the social world of polite and industrious men and women at home.
Customer Reviews:
Who knew economic history could be this much fun?.......1997-10-17
"Citizens" is a vivid, readable portrait of a group of men who, by virtue of their merchant enterprises, helped to shape the destiny of the American colonies in the 18th century. The author, while not stinting on historic detail, manages to squeeze in enough lively anecdotes about the men, their times, and their lives, to make "the Associates" human -- and utterly fascinating.
A striking account of 23 successful London merchants.......1996-05-17
David Hancock has written a striking account of the careers of
twenty-three very successful London merchants who invested together
in several particularly challenging and rewarding branches of
British overseas trade in the eighteenth century. His masterful
study is based on intense and imaginative research in Britain,
the continent, the United States and the West Indies. From his
rich findings, he has developed a thoughtful and probing treatment
of topics such as the wholesale slave trade, the Scots element
in the City of London and the large government contractors in the
Seven Years War. His achievement is most impressive.
Jacob M. Price, University of Michigan
(from the dust jacket)
Something for everyone interested in 18th-century history.......1996-05-17
This fascinating book has something in it for almost everyone
interested in eighteenth-century history. Business historians
will find keen analysis of the techniques that a remarkable group
of entrepreneurs used to propel themselves from the periphery to
the center of Britain's imperial economy. Cultural historians
will acquire new insights into what it meant to be British at the
moment that identity was being forged. Students of British and
American history in general will discover how intricately social
ambition, commerce, war, and slavery interacted in the construction
of the first empire. And anyone at all who admires intricate
argument, imaginative research, and stylish prose will find "Citizens
of the World" a delight.
Fred Anderson, University of Colorado at Boulder
(from the dust jacket)
Perhaps the finest study ever written on a mercantile group.......1996-05-17
"Citizens of the World" is perhaps the finest study ever written
on a mercantile group. Hancock moves gracefully from the counting
house to the country house, from slaving to art collecting, in
reconstructing the lives of the Associates. Beautifully written
and extraordinarily well researched, "Citizens of the World"
represents an outstanding scholarly achievement.

Book Description
This book places international trade law within an economic, political and sociological context, contending that globalisation is characterised by both homogeneity and diversity. The book focuses on the US and the EC, analysing different institutional and substantive aspects of unfair trade instruments, such as anti-dumping and countervailing measures and market access instruments. The book considers political action prescribed by formal constitutions in a wider socio-economic context, rejecting the a-historical and structurally blind normative idea of free trade.
