MEH Update - 9/25/10

A couple of items for your consideration prior to Tuesday's class. I have selected a reader for us to use during the remainder of the course. The title is Taking Sides: Clashing Views in World History, vol. 2. (3rd edition) I would suggest you look for a copy of this on Amazon or Half.com, where they can be found much cheaper than from the publisher ($18.50 direct from Amazon, or under $10 from some private sellers). We won't use this for a week or two, but please order it soon so you have it. In the meantime I'll supplement our textbook with some primary source readings and a couple items from the first volume of Taking Sides. For Tuesday's class I would like you to read a short piece by Erasmus, which I will copy and have available for you on Monday. Please stop by my room (Hum 6) and pick up a copy. We'll center a class discussion around this piece on Tuesday. As always you have a reading assignment from Merriman. Please refer to the syllabus for page numbers. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
