Europe

Oxford University Press

Europe: 1945 to the Present examines the tumultuous history of Europe from the end of World War II through the present. Beginning with the post-war scene, and ending with a discussion of the European Union and its current plans for expansion, the narrative takes students through the past sixty years in a thoughtful, well-organized way. The book covers the Cold War, decolonization, and major developments in the arts and sciences, as well as Europe's reaction to the events of September 11, 2001, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and such episodes of terrorism as the Madrid bombings of 2004. Written in a clear, well-paced style, Europe: 1945 to the Present features primary source text boxes, a chronology, a list of supplemental readings, and numerous illustrations and maps. It is ideal for undergraduate courses on the history of Europe since 1945.

Located east of the village of Finger in north McNairy County, Tennessee, Mount Carmel Cemetery is one of the oldest burying grounds in the county. It was on this hill that Matthew Ward and his wife Ester first settled in the early 1820s and where the first white child in McNairy County, Hugh Kerby, was born. A cemetery and house of worship were established in the years following. "In this cemetery," noted one twentieth-century writer, "sleep the ashes of the early pioneers and settlers of that section" of McNairy County. A SACRED HIGH PLACE shares the history of the cemetery and meetinghouse along with biographical sketches and photographs of several interesting persons buried there. It also includes an updated census of the cemetery that will be useful to descendants and family researchers.
