The New Cambridge Modern History, Vol. 3

THE half century between 1559 and 1610 must assuredly rank as one of
the most brutal and bigoted in the history of modern Europe. The
massacre in Paris on St Bartholomew's day in 1572; the calculated
savagery of the duke of Alba's Council of Blood and the wild atrocities of
the Calvinistic Beggars in the Netherlands; the persecution of the Moriscos
in Spain—these were merely the more spectacular barbarities of an age
unsurpassed for cruelty until our own day.

The New Cambridge Modern History, Vol. 2: The Reformation, 1520-1559

This is the second,volume  of a familiar standard work, first published in 1958. It describes the open conflicts of the Reformation from Luther's first challenge to the uneasy peace of the 1560s. Reforming movements in all the principal countries are discussed against the background of constitutional development and the political struggles of the ruling dynasties. Europe's relations with the outside world are given due prominence. 

The New Cambridge Modern History Vol. 01

This volume is the first in the series called the "New Cambridge Modern History." Although the series purports to be a history of the world, with this volume covering the years from 1493 (the discovery of the new world) until 1520 (the time of Luther and the start of the religious wars), and although the series has more of a world view than does some United States text books, the series still shares the western European view of the world which is biased toward Europe and neglects Asia and Africa. Accordingly, the series remains a history of Europe rather than a history of the entire world.

The Cambridge Handbook of Endangered Languages

It is generally agreed that about 7,000 languages are spoken across the world today and at least half may no longer be spoken by the end of this century. This state-of-the-art Handbook examines the reasons behind this dramatic loss of linguistic diversity, why it matters, and what can be done to document and support endangered languages.
