Rezensionen
Bremer's text combines features that classroom teachers desire - including a clear chronological narrative as well as images and sidebars on fascinating historical characters and questions - along with provocative challenges to conventional ways of thinking that students will bring to courses. The result is a text that should receive wide usage. Paul Harvey, University of Colorado
