Bøger af James C. (Director Turner

Turner shows how Norton developed the key ideas that still underlie the humanities-historicism and culture-and how his influence endures in America's colleges and universities because of institutions he developed and models he devised.

By the turn of the century, the author demonstrates, new conceptions of human nature adn heightened sensitivity even to the plight of lower life-forms were contributing to a new understanding of man's place in nature.
