Hardcover Book, Our World Today and Yesterday, James Harvey Robinson, Reference, History

A wonderful hardcover book entitled Our World Today and Yesterday - A History of Modern Civilization by James Harvey Robinson and Emma Peters Smith with the collaboration of James Henry Breasted.

This work covers history from early man to the problems of international relations up to the mid 1920s. It has colorful maps, color illustrations, and black and white illustrations. A great gift for a lover of history.

James Harvey Robinson (1863–1936), did more than any other American historian to develop both academic and popular interest in the historiographical movement called the “New History.” The New History had two principal and related characteristics. It repudiated the study of history for its own sake, placing it instead at the service of comprehension of the present and improvement of the future. Rather than concentrating on political and diplomatic events, the New History gave primary attention to social, economic, and intellectual developments.
