Summary: scholary but never obscure
Comment: Professors Rubenstein and Ziewacz, successful collaborators on other books, have pulled off a triumph. Well-suited for the classroom, the book is compelling enough for a lay reader interested in any aspect of the rich history of the Great Lakes State. The touch of Lawrence Ziewacz's unique perspective on politics and culture is much in evidence here, and reading the book gives this former colleague the delightful sense of revisiting some of his riveting discussions on Michigania at Michigan State University, where he was a professor for many years. His recent passing means that this volume is the best way to recapture the power of his mature scholarship and prose stylings. A handsome volume, solid and smooth, well-illustrated, too. The definitive book of its type!

Summary: Michigan : A History of the Great Lakes State
Comment: I was in Doctor Rubenstein's Michigan History class at the University of Michigan-Flint in the late 70's. This book contains information from primary research papers from students not only in the class I was in but several other of Doctor Rubenstein's classes. I enjoyed his classes because the information presented not only contained the standard information people receive from high school history classes but also in depth accounts of what really was going on during those times. When I read this book it is like I am reliving those wonderful history classes. I highly recommend this book and any others Doctor Rubenstein has written. You will gain a vast wealth of knowledge about the real Michigan history. I own one of the first printings of this book and will keep it in my library as a cherished memento.
