Belongs on the Shelf of Every Thinker
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 6 years ago
An important breakthrough work. Only one of its kind, from what I see. A profoundly important step towards the unification of this knowledge base. This book belongs on the shelf of every American who thinks they are thinkers. Must have edition.

This book has a wealth of information on American idealogy. I used this book originally for a research project on Transcendentalism that focused on Thoreau, and found that the book was well-indexed and clearly focused. It contained a wealth of information, but wasn't wordy. I later bought the book just to read, and it has benefitted my studies immensely.
