About this title

Review:

"I would be likely to encourage my students to go through the student review cards and the Reasons Why features. I would use the what do you think feature in leading discussion and perhaps to review some material before an exam."

"[WCIV is] an accessible and clearly written, well organized textbook that does a great job integrating primary source documents and internet resources.... I would feel confident that my students could get the necessary information out of the text and that it would support and reinforce my class lectures."

"...this is a solid, concise, well written and highly readable history."
