Students will find these essays about notable persons an invaluable means of relating to an issue or idea on a individual level, which then allows them to approach larger concepts with greater understanding. The Human Tradition in Modern Britain will be very useful in classes as the basis for lively discussions. -- Margaret Minor, Nicholls State University
