Bøker av Daniel J. Boorstin

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. A study of the last 100 years of American history.

By analysing writings of 'the Jeffersonian Circle,' Boorstin explores concepts of God, nature, equality, toleration, education and government in order to illuminate their underlying world view.

Referred to as the "bible of American lawyers," Blackstone's "Commentaries" on the Laws of England shaped the principles of law in both England and America when its first volume appeared in 1765. This work examines why "Commentaries" became the knowledge that any lawyer needed to acquire.
