Encyclopedia of European Social History by Peter N. Stearns
Charles Scribners & Sons; 1 edition | December 20, 2000 | English | ISBN: 0684805820 | 2988 pages | PDF | 30 MB

This encyclopedia approaches and presents modern European social history from several complementary perspectives. Broad essays in the first volume provide foundational information for readers new to social history or the history of countries or regions or major topics. Those essays explain the methods of social history (e.g., cliometrics, gender theory, microhistory), the sociohistorical periods into which modern Europe can be divided (e.g., Renaissance, Enlightenment, post-World War II), and the formative social and cultural influences in various regions or countries. Anyone who reads the insightful, analytical 12-page essay on the Balkans will understand how complex and perhaps ultimately intractable that troubled region's problems are and long have been.
