The Making of the West: Peoples and Cultures, Volume B: 1320-1830

"This is my favorite textbook. I like the way it uses chronology to make sense of a period. This approach does a much better job of showing students that important events were happening simultaneously with other important events, and it helps us to explain social, political, cultural, and economic relationships better. I thank the authors for their commitment and their stimulating ideas.' -- Maura O'Connor, University of Cincinnati
