William C. Brownell, David Cecil, G. Armour Craig, John Loofbourow, Peter K. Garrett, Richard Barickman, Susan MacDonald, Myra Stark, Ina Ferris, Catherine Peters, and James Phelan provide varied perspectives.\n\nA Chronology and Selected Bibliography are also included.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0393965953\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0393965953.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Thackeray, William\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
