Reviews / Votes
"I have been using this text for over twenty years. I do believe that, for an undergraduate survey, it is the best on the market, as it provides an excellent balance between factual narrative and analysis." - Peter Pastor, Montclair State University"The single most impressive aspect of the book, and the reason why I chose it years ago and continue to use it, is its outstanding scholarship, structured and written in a way that students can understand." - Charles A. Endress, Angelo State University
