Customer Reviews

A Must for Any Middle or High School Classroom
This book provides a great DBQ for social studies. It is also a moving and important document that has relevance today. Our greatest First Lady wrote this document and was instrumental in developing the United Nations. I was glad that I picked it up at the FDR Presidential Library and will use it in my teaching.

Eleanor Roosevelt's Legacy
GREAT GIFT, GREAT PRICE! None of us will live to fully realize all 30 Articles in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but hopefully the next generation will. The books are beautifully bound, and are printed in English, Spanish, French, Chinese, Russian and Arabic, so they are great gifts for travel abroad. I met Mrs. Roosevelt as a child, and was very struck by her profound humanity and compassion. This Declaration is her greatest legacy to the future of mankind. Highly recommend.
