In the flood of books in European social history, this superb synthesis will surely stand out. It is based on specialized studies of social changes across early modern Europe (but primarily in France) that led to the Industrial and the French revolutions. Structured around communitiesvillages, towns, and citiesit offers a mine of fresh information about elites, the middle classes, the poor, demographic trends, marriage patterns, education, crime, social rebellions, and sexuality. As in late medieval, so in early modern Western Europe, the nuclear family of four or five people was the general norm. College teachers, students, anyone interested in the social life of the modern West will appreciate this gorgeously written, soundly researched, and highly knowledgeable book. Bennett D. Hill, St. Anselm's Abbey, Washington, D.C. Kammen, Michael. A Machine That Would Go of Itself: the Constitution in American culture.

Reader Reviews
This book is a very enjoyable and colorful description of life from the 1400's to the 1600's. However, if your only knowledge of European history was this book, you would think that history ended in the 1600s with masses of starving naked people lining the roads of burnt villages, while distant cities were filled with no one but idle nobility with their servants and some street venders. Seems a bit too much class warfare too me. During the period of the 1300's to the 1600's there were tremdendous developments in the sciences, technologies, and humanities. This book discusses little of those. Still, it is an excellent description of the effects of changes in warfare on common people. It description on the motivations and benefits of all the societal changes I found to be better described by other books.
