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
