- During 2006 EH.NET published a series of "Classic Reviews." Modeled along the lines of our earlier Project 2000 and Project 2001 series, reviewers were asked to "reintroduce" each of the books to the profession, "explaining its significance at the time of publication and why it has endured as a classic." Each review summarizes the book's key findings, methods and arguments, as it puts it into the larger context and discusses any weaknesses.
