MEDIA REVIEWS
"The writing is clear. [Students] will like that. It is visually 'chunked' into clearly connected but manageable portions. They can read as many or as few chunks as they like at each sitting. They will like the brevity and the opportunity to follow up a reading with some online exploration. The text is invitingly concise yet it is fact-laden AND all the facts are presented within the context of a theme or argument. I like the basic organization a great deal. Everything is orderly and logical. I would have no trouble synchronizing my pre-existing lectures with this text. I especially like the straightforward writing, the short sections, the clear headings, and the concise nature of the explanations (with a lot of lists of causes and/or effects to lead into or to summarize a section). The writing reminds me of several of my favorite texts. As I stated earlier, I greatly anticipate the appearance of the print version of your text. The combination of a short text that students can develop a tactile relationship with--and that we can all bring to the class sessions--with online interactives, visuals, and written primary sources would be a perfect match for my students and my teaching style."
