The chaos of the French Revolution was quickly followed by the somewhat less chaotic rule of Napoleon Bonaparte. For roughly 25 years, France saw five constitutions; countless warring political factions; governments that included a monarchy, a republic, and an empire; and almost constant warfare with most of Europe. At the same time, the French fought from within, sending thousands of its own people to the guillotine. And yet, there were perhaps more advancements during that time than any other in world history. Two brothers launched hot air balloons, inaugurating the age of flight, more than 100 years before Orville and Wilbur Wright. Modern chemistry was developed, eclipsing the strange and superstitious field of alchemy which proceeded it. The metric system was created. Napoleon Bonaparte's army explored Egypt for three years, and a French man would later translate the mysterious hieroglyphs. This book details these French advances and more, including the first photograph, the first automobile, and development of the process that spawned computer programming.

World War II was filled to overflowing with people with strong and unique personalities: Churchill, Stalin, Mussolini, Roosevelt, Hitler and many more. Thousands of books record the war and the history, actions and consequences of the main players, who have all been exhaustively examined and biographed in great detail. One of the most interesting was Hermann Goering, Hitler's number two man in the Nazi Empire, the Nazi's economic czar, and the head of the famous Luftwaffe air force. Literally scores of books have been written about Goering and the study of him can occupy years but this book summarizes the most important of them and draws conclusions about his place in history.
In 1965, Susan Eloise Hinton sat down at her late father's old Underwood typewriter and started work on a novel that would fully and accurately describe the teenage world she knew: the story of Pony Boy, his brothers, and their friends, their constant struggle to belong, and the conflicts between the haves and the have-nots. Two years later, the completed novel, ""The Outsiders"", was published. Hinton made publishing history, single-handedly creating a new genre of fiction - the young adult novel. S.E. Hinton tells the story of the teenager who was the author of such young adult classics as ""That Was Then"", ""This Is Now"", and ""Rumble Fish"".

This critical volume explores S.E. Hinton's classic novel The Outsiders through the lens of teen issues. The text discusses a variety of topics, including Hinton's life and influences, whether the novel offers an overly romanticized view of teen life, and whether social bonds are important for economically disadvantaged teens. The book also explores contemporary perspectives on teen issues, such as a look at modern teen class divisions and the relationship between parenting, masculinity, and teen violence.
