"World in the Making provides students with a solid base for learning; it also allows 'space' for professors to elaborate on topics. The text has a number of pedagogical features that help guide student learning and can be used to facilitate broader class discussions. It makes excellent use of visual evidence and material culture to illustrate and support its points."--Heather Wadas, Shippensburg State University

"I really like this textbook. 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
