I like its structure, the emphasis on people, the more recent scholarship that it's predicated on, and the topics covered. As a social historian, I like that the authors highlighted the lives of ordinary people."--Mary Block, Valdosta State University "World in the Making is engaging, well written, well priced, and not too long. It is academic, yet accessible. There are plenty of resources just in the text itself to launch in class discussions. Students actually read it!"--Matthew Gantt Standard, Berry College
