Modern history\u2014history, that is, after the fall of Constantinople in 1453\u2014can sometimes seem like a confusing jumble of unrelated events. As a result, many curricula needlessly avoid this exciting period of history. Memoria Press\u2019 new\u00a0Famous Men of Modern Times\u00a0<\/em>will bring the events of the last 500 years to life.

Why study history through its famous men? Haaren and Poland answer in their preface: \u201cThe study of history, like the study of a landscape, should begin with the most conspicuous features. Not until these have been fixed in memory will the lesser features fall into their appropriate places and assume their right proportions. In order to attract and hold the child\u2019s attention, each conspicuous feature of history presented to him should have an individual for its center. The child sees himself as this individual. It is not Romulus or Hercules or Caesar or Alexander that the child has in mind when he reads, but himself, acting under the prescribed conditions. Prominent educators, appreciating these truths, have long recognized the value of biography as a preparation for the study of history and have given it an important place in their scheme of studies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
