Book Description

June 1, 2008
Modern history--history, that is, after the fall of Constantinople in 1453 can sometimes seem like a confusing jumble of unrelated events. As a result, many curricula needlessly avoid this exciting period of history. Memoria Press' new Famous Men of Modern Times will bring the events of the last 500 years to life. These stories provide great insight into the foundations of the modern world. Balanced and well written with many interesting details and beautiful color illustrations, the Famous Men of Modern Times is perhaps Haaran and Poland's best work.
The following great men are included in the Famous Men of Modern Times: Lorenzo the Magnificent (1449), Christopher Columbus, Ferdinand of Aragon, Vasco da Gama, Chevalier Bayard, Cardinal Wolsey, Charles V of Germany, Suleiman the Magnificent, Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh, Henry of Navarre, Wallenstein, Gustavus Adolphus, Cardinal Richelieu, Galileo, Oliver Cromwell, Louis XIV, Sir Isaac Newton, William III King of England, Sobieski, Peter the Great, Charles XII of Sweden, Frederick the Great, William Pitt, George Washington, Robespierre, Napoleon Bonaparte, Horatio Nelson, Thaddeus Kosciusko, Abraham Lincoln, Garibaldi, William Ewart, Gladstone, Count von Bismarck.

About the Author

John Henry Haaren (1855-1916) was an American educator and historian. Haaren's father was German and his mother Irish. He studied under Prof. N. M. Butler at Columbia University, 1889-91, before becoming a teacher in New York. In 1907 he became Associate Superintendent of Schools in New York, increasing the number and efficiency of kindergartens and starting classes to teach English to foreigners. He was president of the department of pedagogy in the Brooklyn Institute. Haaren High School (which was located on 10th Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets in Manhattan) was named in his honor. The Charles B. J. Snyder-designed school which was initially DeWitt Clinton High School is now Haaren Hall on the campus of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
