Modern history—history, that is, after the fall of Constantinople in 1453—can sometimes seems like a
confusing jumble of unrelated events. As a result, many curricula needlessly avoid this exciting period
of history. Memoria Press' new Famous Men of Modern Times will bring the events of the last 500 years to
life. These stories provide great insight into the
foundations of the modern world. Balanced and well written with many interesting details and beautiful
color illustrations, the Famous Men of Modern Times is, perhaps, Haaran and Poland’s best work yet.
Why study history through its famous men? Haaren or and Poland answer in their preface:"The 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's 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."
