<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>The Education of Henry Adams</i> follows the life of presidential descendent <b>Henry Adams. </b> However, instead of serving just as an account of <b>Adams'</b> deeds, <i> The Education of Henry Adams </i> is a series of observations and introspections <b>Adams </b> makes on social changes, scientific advancements, personal relationships, professional success, travel, religion, war, and education. Born into the privilege of wealth and the renowned success of his ancestors, President John Adams and President John Quincy Adams, <b>Adams</b> received an education from notable schools, such as Harvard. He continued his prestigious education in Berlin, studying law and the German language. Despite his formal education, <b>Adams</b> felt unprepared to face the changing dynamics of his country, including shifts in social, religious, political, and scientific beliefs. For this reason, <b>Adams</b> advocates for "self-education" through experience, friendships, and reading. In his autobiography, <b> Adams</b> endorses studying American history and science in school, and encourages the process of self-educating after one's formal education. With a set of strong political and religious beliefs, <b>Adams</b> invokes a substantial impression with his perspectives on the on-going transformation of the United States of America. </p> <p><b>Henry Adams'</b> autobiography, <i>The Education of Henry Adams, </i> has earned remarkable acclaim, including receiving a Pulitzer Prize.

Though he felt his formal education left him unprepared for such happenings, <b> Adams </b> encourages readers to learn from their experiences and relationships. <i> The Education of Henry Adams</i> offers invaluable insight on the rapid changes in society, and reminds readers that one's education is never finished. </p> <p>Now with a new, eye-catching cover design and reprinted in a modern font, <i> The Education of Henry Adams</i> by <b>Henry Adams</b> is more accessible than ever and able to offer modern-day readers insight on historical events and philosophy of learning that will always be relevant. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>From boyhood to his biggest moments of success, Henry Adams offers his wisdom and introspection on his life, relationships, social changes, war, and education. </b><i>The Education of Henry Adams</i> is a Pulitzer prize winning autobiography, posthumously published to share <b>Adams'</b> perspective on the rapidly changing social and political norms of 20th century America. </p>
