Review:

"The style is generally clear, and the content is comprehensive. The European emphasis reflects the interests and work of scholars who have produced much social history...This is a very useful reference. The section on methodology makes an excellent, if indirect, case for social history itself, and overall the treatment of conceptual subjects such as regionalism, periodization, and urbanization will be of particular use to students...Recommended for academic and larger public libraries."
-- Library Journal (April 15, 2001)
