Play the video below on the basics of navigating the AP Euro Website
Class of 2021
Welcome! I am so excited you have decided to take this journey through European History with me. This website will be your Bible for staying organized and doing well in this class so mark it well.
Below are the books you will need throughout this course:
Text Book: Merriman, John. A History of Modern Europe: From Renaissance to the Present. 4th ed.
Make sure it is the 4th edition as our units coincide with the page numbers and chapters (assigned reading can be confusing if it is not this edition). Also Margaux informed me there is an online version that she got which was more helpful than the actual text.
Term 1
Machiavelli. The Prince.
(I would recommend the Dover edition but there are plenty of good editions both online and in paperback. I find it easier to annotate with a book but choice is yours)
Term 2
Darnton, Robert. The Great Cat Massacre and Other Episodes in French Cultural History. New York: Vintage Books, 1985. Print.
Voltaire. Candide.
( I would recommend the Hackett Publishing edition but there are plenty of good editions both online and in paperback. I find it easier to annotate with a book but choice is yours)
Term 3
Marx and Engels. Communist Manifesto.
( I would recommend the Penguin Classics edition but there are plenty of good editions both online and in paperback. I find it easier to annotate with a book but choice is yours)
Conrad, Joseph. Heart of Darkness.
( I would recommend the Norton Publishing edition but there are plenty of good editions both online and in paperback. I find it easier to annotate with a book but choice is yours)
Term 4
Remarque. All Quiet on the Western Front.
( I would recommend the Penguin Publishing edition but there are plenty of good editions both online and in paperback. I find it easier to annotate with a book but choice is yours)
