THE GROWTH OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT

Governance from the Cleveland Era to the Present

Ballard C. Campbell

"A refreshingly unorthodox narrative of the growth of government since 1887. It covers a great deal of ground that U.S. history survey texts ought to cover but almost never do. Campbell has done a good job of saying in plain language how government grew." ---Walter Nugent, University of Notre Dame

"The first book-length study to discuss and explain the changing and growing role of government on various levels in the United States over the past century. . . .Strongly recommended." ---Samuel McSeveney, Vanderbilt University

Campbell reviews the major areas of functional and administrative growth, suggests their causes, and comments on the impact of government's new programs. Both the federal system and state and local government figure prominently in his analysis.

September 1995, 304 pages, fig., 12 tables, intro., notes, bibl., index

OLD AGE AND THE SEARCH FOR SECURITY
An American Social History
Carole Haber and Brian Gratton

"Haber and Gratton lay to rest many conventional assumptions concerning the place of older persons in American history." ---Choice

"Indeed Haber and Gratton give us a refreshingly multidimensional history of the shift in old-age security from work, assets, or children to government annuities." ---Contemporary Sociology

". . . the history of old age has finally come of age. The authors successfully synthesize the best of the earlier social and cultural studies with new empirical evidence and recent findings of economic historians." ---Journal of Economic History

"A truly 'revisionary' interpretation of the cultural and structural forces that shaped the elderly's lives from the colonial period to the present. Lucid and controversial, [it] is bound to be widely cited and hotly contested." ---W. Andrew Achenbaum

1994, 256 pages, 17 b&w photos, 2 tables, 6 graphs, intro., notes, index

A Social History of Early Modern Europe

MOVING EUROPEANS
Migration in Western Europe since 1650

Leslie Page Moch

A Choice Outstanding Academic Book of 1994

"By far the best general book on its subject . . . will remain a standard reference for some time to come." ---Charles Tilly, New School for Social Research

"This provocative study affords a melding of the most current theory with engagingly written vignettes of the lived experience of those involved in the process." ---Choice

". . . insightful [work] on the history of migration. . . . readable and well researched, making ample use of foreign-language primary sources, and [offering] unique contributions to migration studies." ---Library Journal

Not only did Europeans migrate in huge numbers to the New World following the Age of Discovery, millions of people went on the move within Western Europe itself. Moch tells the story of these vast population shifts as she examines the links between human mobility and the fundamental changes that transformed European life.
