Description of The Great Wave |
'The history of prices is the history of change,' writes David Hackett Fischer is this broad sweep of western history from the middle ages to our own time. Fischer has gained a reputation for making history come alive - even stories as familiar as Paul Revere's ride, or as complex as the assimilation of British Culture in North America.
Now in The Great Wave, he has done it again... Fischer combines extensive research and meticulous scholarship with lively prose to create a book for scholars and general readers alike.

ReviewsA review on David Hackett Fischer's Albion's Seed:
"One of the most interesting, important, and ambitious books about American cultural and social origins ever written... It blends the best of new and old scholarship in lucid language designed to attract laymen and students alike. Very simply, Albion's Seed is a splendid achievement."
