Reviews

"Sources for World in the Making provides the student with a contextualized, informed appreciation of the diversity of human experience over time, as told by many different historical actors. This book is a must for student-centered source-analysis curricula."--Timothy Howe, St. Olaf College

"The readers format is sure to promote student learning and insight. Chapter introductions and document headnotes are laudably concise and helpful for situating the source material. Discussion questions point out fresh interpretive approaches without being so simple as to foreclose thinking and discussion. 'Making Connections' questions offer an opportunity to enhance student understanding of the thematic considerations across each chapter."--Jared Poley, Georgia State University
