Press

"Written in a clear and concise fashion, these books provide enough details to give a taste for the era without overwhelming students. Mini biographies, quotes, and short explanations of concepts and events strategically placed throughout the texts give readers a clearer understanding of the times. Photographs and maps provide further points of reference....Photos, reproductions, illustrations, boxed quotes, or maps appear on almost every page, giving the books an open, inviting format."
