What People are Saying About This

Patrick Collinson

An excellent collection of prime sources for the study of religion in its social context, through and beyond the age of the Reformation in England. Its most admirable and useful feature is the wide scope of the collection. (Patrick Collinson, University of Cambridge)

Editorial Reviews

The term "geography" receives a broad treatment in this review of Ohio's physical, cultural, urban, and economic aspects. Twenty-one scholars trace Ohio's changing landscape from predominantly agricultural to its flowering as a manufacturing center in the 1950s, and the impact which industry's erosion has had on its present day urban centers. The book also provides a more traditional examination of the region's landforms, climate, soils, and resources, and particular discussions of agriculture, transportation, recreation, and tourism. Includes illustrations and maps. A revised edition originally published as The Changing Heartland: A Geography of Ohio. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
