UCSB Hist 2c, Spring 2003, Prof. Marcuse
Reader Table Of Contents: Hypertext version (pdf)

Thumbnail of cover of Prof. Marcuse's UCSB Hist 2c readerThis reader exists in three different forms:

  1. The photocopied texts (110 pages), bound together, available at AS Copy in the UCen for about $6 [actually $9--I suspect they may have raised the price to make the e-version more appealing].
  2. The actual reader texts online as scanned, searchable text at readers.as.ucsb.edu ($4.50, or $3 when purchased with the printed version).
    Note 4/2/03: I recommend against purchasing the e-version. You need to have the hard copy for section.
    Note for faculty: I also recommend AGAINST supporting this program, at least for history. I also think they raised the price of the printed version to support this trial.
  3. This hypertext version you are looking at with links to additional information about the authors, other texts, or full versions of texts from which these are taken.
