Methods Books For Purchase in UMSLBS (Proper Use of These Items

We all suffer from the slip of the tongue sometimes in the use of
the wrong verb in the spoken language (i.e. the conjugation of
verbs in our heads) and in the written language of our letters,
book reports, and research papers, e.g. “I should have went
instead of I should have gone; or I should have came instead of I
should have come. I should have began instead of I should have
begun,” and so on, SUCH AS THE VERB TO SHOW AND ITS FORMS. One
may improve upon this issue by purchasing one of the following
books and carry it around at all times for consultation. Selfcorrections will lead to more confidence and proper recitation
responses in classes and in the writing of letters, term papers,
and better performances in job interviews!:

Do not to select an edited Book with essays with several scholars
and/nor one in which You CANNOT FIND A REVIEW; see Retrospective
Bk. Review Index to Scholarly Journals 1883-1974, Book Review
Index l974-Present. This exercise makes plain the value of being
critical of what one reads and the need to not just take someone
else's notion about what is "truth." Remain vigilant to the
"invention of tradition." Lots of so called "Truths," that one
believes, have indeed been "invented." The Book Report will be
assigned a grade and factored into your GPA with a NUMBER/LETTER

General Reading:
Wallbank, T. Walter and Alastair M. Taylor and Nels M. Bailkey,
Civilization Past and Present (Chicago: Scott, Foresman And
Company,[1942],1962). I was taught from this “Civilization” text
7
in 1955/56 as an undergraduate student at Kentucky State College
(University in 1972). Note Historiography or the changing
perspectives on history and how our mindsets can be effected by
history: In this text, Egypt appears in chapter 1 as not part of
Africa but as belonging to “The Ancient Near East” and to Western
Civilization. Africa appears on pages 353-359 in the middle of
this vast book as “Africa: The Neglected Continent, Obstacles to
progress, ‘Primitive’ cultures of Black Africa,’ and the
ignominious ‘Africa’s contact with the ancient world,’” etc.
Adjust your seat belts, we do not teach this way any more about
Africa anywhere in the world. The teaching of African history
has dismantled these stereotypes in global history. See:
(1) "Black Pharoahs," National Geographic, February 2008, Vol.
213 No.2:P.34In order to see how African history dismantled university
narratives and altered our vision in Western Civilization (e.g.
William H. McNeill, The Rise of the West, 1963), see next
