Hellas is a broadly-based history of ancient Greece
and its predecessors. For secondary school students, this text offers a new look at the origins of western civilization
so that yet another generation can see updated reflections of its own behavior. For, little that transpired in Greece between
1200 BC and the ascendancy of Rome has not happened again in one way or another, and is still happening today. Interspersed
throughout the text are translated primary sources.

This revised brief history of Rome was previously entitled The
Children of Romulus. Like its companion volume, HELLAS, Rome:
Empire Without End is designed for use in high school courses that
focus in depth on a particular civilization. Its well-written narrative describing the triumphs and disasters of the ancient
Romans is cogently interspersed with comtemporary direct sources. In addition to coverage of exciting military campaigns,
the text relates the Romans' early experiments with a system of checks and balances in their constitution, and social issues
such as how they were forced to re-define the roles of women and foreign slaves. Finally, the text reveals how new political,
literary and aesthetic ideas from abroad became the tangled background to the fall of the Republic.

Voices & Masks The Experience of 19th Century Mill Girls and Enslaved Women from Primary Sources
|
Voices
and Masks uses direct sources to relate the experiences of two groups of nineteenth century women; the mill girls of New England,
and the enslaved women of the South. (Grades 10 and up).
Using primary sources, this text focuses on the experience of New England’s nineteenth century mill girls and
enslaved black women of the antebellum South. The documents and writings of the mill girls reveal how they transformed themselves
from being a source of cheap labor for the textile industry to independent women capable of assuming a prominent role in
society. Denied writing, enslaved women are shown to have carved out their identities in more hidden or private ways.
