Welcome to the guide for finding books and book reviews on modern American History for Dr. Croce's HIST 152.
"Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" by Jim Croce:
Seminar Preparation: browse for topics in all the course books and/or in Web Resources (Bd), and consider your own interests, majors, and career paths.
Learning Outcomes and Seminar Goals: identifying academic and public intellectual history books on American culture, widely conceived, from the 1860s to the present, finding these kinds of books, book reviews about them, and articles and more related to the books’ topics.
We have several options for finding books, including searching through OneSearch and locating both physical books and eBooks.
You may also go directly to the databases for eBooks. Here are links to these eBook collections as well as how to download them:
Authoritative, full-text e-books in a wide range of subject areas.
EBSCO eBooks available on the EBSCOhost platform.
A searchable, full-text database of encyclopedias, almanacs, and specialized reference sources.
Many of our article databases have a way to limit your search to book reviews, even if they are not listed below.
Start your search for book reviews in the databases. Use the title of the book as your search term. Look for a search option that lets you limit the results to book reviews.
An archive of scholarly journals. Content spans many disciplines, primarily in the humanities and social sciences. The most recent 3-5 years of journals are generally not available. JSTOR has a number of other collections to which we do not subscribe. Provided through a cooperative agreement with Stetson's College of Law Library.
A search interface to multiple databases on the EBSCO platform. (Academic Search Premier, MLA, PsycInfo, and more)
